    Most people I know don't handle criticism very well. As long as it's deserved, I think I handle criticism pretty well and I take pride in the fact that I'm not too proud.

    Which boat are you in?

    It depends on how the criticism is delivered.

    Also depends on if the criticism is warranted.

    I'd love to say I can handle criticism, but honestly I can't. It nags at me endlessly. I also have trouble criticizing other people. When I get a paper back in a class, or we have peer critiques, a lot of times I don't even look at the feedback. It boggles my mind that my classmates are eager for everyone to tell them what's wrong with their work. Of course, I do wish I had that mindset.

    I've always viewed it as a personality trait deficiency. I wish I could handle any and all criticism. I really do.

    Not well, especially if I feel it is unjustified. I recently took a co-worker all the way up the chain of command over this very issue. I want to be left alone to do my job. I will listen to a supervisor or administrator if they know what they are talking about, but co-workers should be nice or stay away. I should probably work for myself, something I will likely do in the next few years. I am fiercely independent.

    Denial

    Undeserved sense of pride and accomplishment

    Know-it-all-ism

    I think I'm doing pretty well with these tools

    I never get criticism. I get plenty of jealousy.

    if I respect the person criticizing me in the arena that he/she is criticizing me in, I take it very well

    if I think the person is a moron in that arena, I will try to evaluate it, but I'll usually dismiss it..

    and if i don't know the person's capability.. yeah, i'll take it well and try and figure it out

    I take criticism well. And punches to the gut. Dont even try to kick me in the balls, unless your toes hitting brass is fun to you.

    I used to really take cricism really really bad. Until I found out they all were right.
    World 1 - Me 0. But I'll even the score.

    I don't handle criticism. I just give them.
