The questionnaire asks how others see you: "Others tell me ..."
These questions are intended to help you reflect on whether your inner experience matches how others experience you. For example, you may believe yourself to have a gift for Leadership, but if no one ever volunteers to work with you, or never tells you how much they appreciate your leadership, then that would give cause for further reflecting on that gift.
However, there is one more complication. Suppose you often give leadership and are praised for it, but don't really enjoy it - it leaves you tired and drained. This too is cause for further reflection because instead of using a gift for leadership you may be using a well-developed skill. There is an important difference between the two.
Praise from others must be confirmed by your own inner satisfaction. So even if others do often praise you for a gift, if you do not receive satisfaction from it, rate it low in your response.
