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 “I’ll just redo it myself instead of pointing it out”, including the private rule underneath it: If I quietly redo the work myself, the outcome improves without anyone — including me — having to sit through the discomfort of a correction being said out loud.
QUIET
“I’ll just redo it myself instead of pointing it out” appears, but it rarely gets the final say. Keep this line available for higher-pressure moments: “Rebuilding their deck teaches them nothing except that I'll always catch it before it ships.”
PRESENT
“I’ll just redo it myself instead of pointing it out” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “One sentence about slide seven costs less than four hours of quiet rewriting.”
ACTIVE
“I’ll just redo it myself instead of pointing it out” is shaping action often enough to deserve a deliberate counterexample. Start privately and concretely: Before you open their file to fix it, write the one sentence you'd say about what's wrong in a private note — don't send it, just see if it exists.
DOMINANT
Right now, “I’ll just redo it myself instead of pointing it out” is steering many of the moments you measured. That is a pattern reading, not a diagnosis or character verdict. Begin with one reversible receipt: Before you open their file to fix it, write the one sentence you'd say about what's wrong in a private note — don't send it, just see if it exists.
