Can We Dance?
Learning The Steps For a Fulfilling Relationship

by Susanne M. Alexander
with John S. Miller

“After reading this book, I have a new-found appreciation for the importance of really exploring myself to know what character qualities I need my mate to possess.”

“I love the combination of information, reflection, and interaction with the arts. This approach is present, reflective and emotionally, spiritually provocative.”

“Can We Dance? helped me to examine my beliefs, clarify my motivations, and analyze every step from friendship to a serious relationship. It is full of great tools that are both fun and immediately useful.”

In both methods you are going to be looking for match-ups between the qualities and the person that you are assessing.

There are three basic categories to identify. They are:

  1. Genuine quality - Strong match
    Counterfeit qualities - Strong match

  2. Genuine quality - Strong match
    Counterfeit qualities - Weak match

  3. Genuine quality - Weak match
    Counterfeit qualities - Strong match

The definitions are as follows:

  • Strong - Strong: means that the individual is typically strong with the genuine use and the counterfeit uses of this quality. Anything in this category is most likely the source of trouble and conflict for this person. They use the genuine quality in a strong way for successful decisions; however, since they use this quality a lot, they also tend to draw upon the counterfeits of this when they resort to selfish behavior.
  • Strong - Weak: means that the individual is typically strong in the proper use of this quality; however, they do not resort to using the counterfeits. This is a good thing. This individual typically is getting along with other people when they are using this quality. If you identify this quality in your adversary, it would be a good quality to help your adversary focus upon when you have dealings with him or her.

  • Weak - Strong: means that the individual is typically weak in the genuine use of this quality; however, they are strong at using the counterfeits. This is unfortunate for the person you are assessing, and it is unfortunate for the people he or she interacts with when they are using these counterfeits. This person may not even be aware that they have a propensity to use the genuine quality. It may be like music to their ears to learn from you that you see in them a great potential for whatever genuine quality is in view.

The forward method:

The forward method requires us to start out by identifying something good about the person that we are assessing. That is a difficult thing to do if the person is your adversary.

Have you heard the saying, "If you don't have something good to say about someone, don't say anything at all"? This is how you put that into practice.

The Easy Look-Up tool is the one you will use for this. On that page, you will see the genuine and the counterfeit qualities have a drop down box where all of the qualities are listed in alphabetic order.

By now, you have already become familiar with the character profiles because of reading them in reference to your own character assessment. The more familiar you become with your own character (and the tools) the easier it will be for you to assess the character of others. The more you practice, the easier it will become.

Therefore, the forward method is when you start with the genuine qualities in the drop down list. For each quality in the list, ask yourself if that genuine quality describes the other person.

If you believe a quality may be their quality, click on that quality, and read about the quality in the character profile to see if it is a match. As you read the character profile, ask yourself if the quality seems to be describing the other person.

Next, when you have established a reasonable degree of certainty the quality is a match, read the corresponding counterfeit qualities. Do you see a corresponding match between one or more of the counterfeits and the other person?

Here are two examples of how accessing another person's character can be very helpful to you and the other person. The first example is to a non-adversary. The second is to an adversary.
