Sashay Scale
You can’t miss Sashay.
Sashay, Chante.
You better work!

Work it girl;
do a twirl.
The appearance of the Sashay depends on the response each Sister gives to the current environment. Training and education and personal growth patterns can all have a part in determining this scale. Granted, genetics will also play a role in establishing a Sisters’ Sashay Scale. Environmental patterns also combine with heredity to create a unique Sashay. No two Sashay’s will be exactly alike. However, consistent patterns are established for either the Sashay Left or Sashay Right.
Let’s deal with Sashay Right first since those are the ones who think they’re most important. Of course, everyone knows it, right? But when it comes down to it, the Sashay is not about what other people think about you. It’s about personal energy. What feelings of energy do you experience in an interaction?
Sashay Right
Depending on how you answered questions on the Sisters’ Quiz, you either Sashay left or Sashay right. Sashay divides the Sisters Grid horizontally. Your score from the Sisters Quiz will place you on the left or right side of the scale.
Sashay reflects your interactions with other people. What kind of assertiveness do others have over you? How much can others influence you? How much pressure do you require before acting or deciding? Do you gain strength from being around others or does it drain your energy?
Sisters Sashaying right tend to not be readily influence by others. These Sisters tend to be less yielding in decisions and purpose. They are the ones who love to be in the middle of a crowd and gain energy levels when they are. In fact, not being in a crowd can be draining for these Sisters. They like to drive and push for things, and sometimes they can push too hard. This assertiveness can even be to the point of harm to those who stand in the way, thus right Sashaying Sisters must watch to make sure this strength doesn’t become a weakness.
I freely distribute my opinion to whoever will listen. Oh I’ve got lots to tell you, and I barely pause to breathe when talking. I tilt towards you as I’m engaged in conversation with you. I like to look you in the eye and hold your attention. I need it done right now, and I pressure for action and decisions. My hands and gestures do as much talking as my mouth. I have lots to say so please keep up, because I speak fast about lots of things. Most people have no problem hearing me when I speak, and I tell you to do something.

Sashay Left
Sisters Sashaying left tend to yield more to people; in relationships, these Sisters don’t like to assert themselves. Though, they can have a good time in a crowd, these Sisters tend to gain more energy by having alone time. These Sisters find it much easier to relinquish then to push back. More easily influenced, the left Sashaying Sisters must learn to express themselves unless this strength becomes a weakness.
I state my opinion only when I deem it necessary, and I give it very carefully. I take my time to make my point, and I pause frequently when I’m talking. During conversations, I generally stand away from people. I feel uncomfortable if eye contact is too intense.
If you want to do something, you will, so I exert less pressure for action. I seldom gesture when I’m holding a conversation with you. I take my time when I’m talking so you can understand what I’m saying. While I’m talking to you, I tend to speak softly. I ask you to do something.
