Learn More About Self Monitoring
Are you good at self monitoring? Self-monitoring is a personality trait that represents the degree to which you control the image you present to others in social situations. It shows how much you monitor and control your behavior.
People with low levels of self-monitoring try to present an image of themselves that is in tune with their inner attitudes, whereas people with higher levels of self-monitoring are skilled at altering their behavior and public appearance to conform to the demands of the situation. They change their behaviors to influence the kind of impression others have of them.
