Is this feedback useful, or do they just dislike me?

Think of one piece of criticism that's been bothering you. Answer eight quick questions. You'll see whether it looks like useful feedback, a personal clash, or a mix, and what to do with it. About one minute.

Nothing is saved or sent.

01Their criticism was specific: they described something I did or didn't do.
02It was mostly about my personality, tone or "attitude," with no examples.
03I've heard similar feedback from other people.
04This person is the only one who sees it this way.
05They're in a position to judge this work: my manager, a client, a direct collaborator.
06They're critical of most people, not just me.
07There's a clear thing I could do differently.
08When I've changed what they asked for, the complaint moved to something else.
