Taking a self-assessment is never easy and is only beneficial when you are honest with yourself about where you are in certain areas of your life. In taking the self-assessment I had to take an in-depth look at myself in each of the areas identified, and that was not easy. I did learn, however, that I was stronger in some areas after thinking about it and taking a hard-look at each area.

The ability to get along with diverse groups was not a surprise. My mother has always told me that was born friendly and getting along with anyone. Understanding technology has always been a strong point as I grew up in a home with a computer programmer/repairman who taught me to always be open to new technologies. I’d say that overall my strengths surprised me the most, but that is a good …show more content…

I am solid in those aspects, but thought that it overestimated my capabilities

    After knowing what my weaknesses are, I usually try to solve them and improve my skills.
