This questionnaire will show you a list of activities or things you could do. For each one, please select a response to indicate how well you can do that thing. For example, how well can you follow the instructions for an assignment?
Keep in mind that how well you can do something may be different from how often you actually do it, or whether you even like doing it. For each activity, you should rate how well you can do that thing when you try your best.
Everybody has strengths and weaknesses. That's why it's impossible to get all "perfect" scores on this questionnaire. Please be honest about what things you can already do well and what things are still difficult for you. Your honest answers will help you get the most accurate picture of your current skills and opportunities for growth.

As you look through your feedback, remember that no one is perfect at everything. It’s impossible to get a "perfect" score on every skill. Instead, think of this report as a map of where you are right now. It shows your current strengths and the best opportunities for you to grow.
