The Capacity Quiz™
Where is your capacity right now? Not where you need it to be or want it to be. Right now, how are you holding everything?
Take the Capacity Quiz™
Ten moments every man knows. For each one, pick what you actually do, not what you would like to say you do.
There is no right answer. There is only the honest one.
Nothing you pick leaves your phone. No email, no name, nothing stored. Nobody will ever know you took this, including me. If you don’t like your answers, reach out to me privately and we can talk about building your capacity. private@samgmorris.com
How it is scored
Capacity is the ability to hold intensity, emotion, conflict, calmness, and intimacy without numbing out, blowing up, or leaving.
Every question represents a moment every man is familiar with. The four answers are the four things a man typically does in that moment: he numbs or avoids it, he blows up or leaves, he manages it alone by stuffing it down, or he holds himself in it and lets someone in.
Your score is how often you hold it.
Choose whichever answer most closely represents what you would do.
Reacting is what a man does when he has no capacity. It is fast, it is automatic, and it is dangerous to everyone near him.
Responding is what a man does when he has capacity. It is slower, it is chosen, and it is safe to be around.
Every answer below is one or the other.
