Self-Reflection |
Selecting meaningful and reputable self-assessments and and then answering the questions as honestly as possible, is the first step in developing a better understanding of who we really are and why we behave the way we do. Many self-assessments provide valuable information but understanding the implications and margin of error that are present in the results of each assessment is extremely important.

It is important to set aside time to reflect on assessment questions and your results. What do your self-assessment results really mean and how can they help you become a better you? This is the time to think critically about your results; identify what sounds typical vs. what surprised you and then develop an action plan with details on how you will use this newly acquired information to improve your future self.
"We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience." -John Dewey
