SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “My hand is still half-raised from ten minutes ago”, including the private rule underneath it: If I never let my hand come all the way down, the question is still technically open, so no one has actually skipped me — I just haven't finished asking yet.
QUIET
“My hand is still half-raised from ten minutes ago” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “A hand that got skipped is still information about the room, not a verdict on me.”
PRESENT
“My hand is still half-raised from ten minutes ago” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “I either ask now or I write the question down for next month — my arm doesn't get to decide by staying half up.”
ACTIVE
“My hand is still half-raised from ten minutes ago” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: At home, raise your hand exactly as you did in the meeting, hold it three seconds, then lower it fully while saying your unfinished question out loud once.
DOMINANT
Right now, “My hand is still half-raised from ten minutes ago” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: At home, raise your hand exactly as you did in the meeting, hold it three seconds, then lower it fully while saying your unfinished question out loud once.
