initiative

got the following from ting:

(a) 10% do it themselves on their own initiative
(b) 25% will do it if asked
(c) 30% will do it after asking a few times and seeing that it works/in action
(d) 25% do it when you hound them
(e) 10% will never do it

i think these numbers are pretty good. of course, i think people's categories change depending on what you're talking about. i'm generally a and b. but when it comes to things i think are stupid, things i don't want to do anyway, or things that are coming from people i don't really like, i'm a d.

it's pretty crazy though, how many people are d's for a lot of things they should probably be higher in the alphabet for!
