If you are depressive now, searching for your weaknesses and for the threats against you may pull you further deep into depression. In this case, search your strengths and the opportunities open to you only. This is the problem with all analytical techniques.

Holistic techniques do not need any SWOT analysis for their implementation.

Note

From a holistic point of view, there is no need to test your abilities like IQ, EQ or the like.
