How to Conduct a Self-Assessment
-
Identify the skill set(s) you wish to assess in the Self-Assessment and Observer Assessment documents.
-
Review the definition of each skill set and identify your ability to demonstrate each of the skill set statements. Complete instructions are detailed in both assessment documents.
-
Distribute copies of the Observer Assessment to colleagues who are familiar with your current job responsibilities and recent work.
-
After all assessments are complete, use the Skills Analysis Sheet to compare your Self-Assessment results with those of the Observer Assessments. This will help you identify your skill strengths and opportunities for improvement, as well as how others perceive your work.
