What is your assessment of YOU?

I believe that the fundamental use of an assessment is to gather relevant data that can capture an individual’s thought processes. This is important because our thinking process drives our behavior and serves to help formulate our tendencies and habits. With this in mind, I chose self-development to be the most important use of assessment tools. Self-development assessments can identify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. This information can be valuable in helping individuals understand how their thinking effects their mindset, behavior and actions. I believe the better individuals understand themselves, the easier it is to create change. Secondly, it is critical that leaders rely on coaches who have a deep understanding of the tool being used, the constructs measured by th eassessment, and how to interpret the results. Coaches can use assessment results to help individuals understand the effects of their thinking processes, tendencies and behavior. This information can be valuable in helping individuals make the proper changes and corrections, in order to reach their goals and objectives.
