anyway, to your thread, frankly i don't think anyone with a "strong" personality (whatever that means, as nefeli has sharply shown) would need to boast of having one. in other words, the case you initially presented is common because it's the charlatan that will claim having superpowers.
most mortals are good at some things & sucky at others, and some are more aware of their strengths and shortcomings than others. and because aware is one thing i am, i can confidently say i'm often times more talk than show, but that's just because i really like talking, as my post count demonstrates.
so the verdict stands on appeal.

ps- i also think that people incapable of self-doubt are constitutionally and terminally stupid--and that's not any kind of strength. |
Ok, this is more the sort of reply that I expected from you.
I am not debating what a strong personality is by a million miles, that is a series of qualities that makes a person, in a way, more flexible when it comes to deal with tricky situations and people, sometimes successfully and sometimes less so. Your observation about self-doubt is pretty much spot on in this context.
The overall sign that someone is inclined towards strength is the ''I can do it, I can go through this'' motto, without pre-emptying the outcome of what is happening to them.
I am more interested in how people assest their own level of strength on a general basis, that's all. The example I gave on my first post is naturally an easy target because a truly confident person I would generally expect not to boast about it at all.
