Last year I did an <a href=\"http:\/\/integrationtraining.blogspot.com\/2008\/09\/integral-life-review.html\">integral life review<\/a> and have achieved 80-90% of the growth plans I made then. This year I decided to ask the people that know me best what my key virtues are. I have a certain British reluctance to do this but got over this. People were forthcoming in their responses which each carried a flavour of the observer and the context the knew me in, and there was also a large degree of correlation.
