If someone scores highly on critical trait
When you indicate to people they have a high critical trait or a low appreciation trait they are likely to tell you they are very negative of themselves and that is the reason why the results came out the way they did. In reality, they are also too critical of others but in denial of the “too” part of it. Remember, negative people, do not know they are negative. Only Assessments like these and observations by others give us a clue about ourselves in this regard.
