| Instructions: Review each item below. Determine your current level of proficiency for each item and the importance the item has for your career success. Use a scale of 1 to 7 (where 1 is low and 7 is high). See Item 1 below for an example and then overwrite the entered numbers with your own rating. The gap for each item will be automatically calculated.
Interpreting your results: In the example, the gap is -5. The large negative number is indicative of an item where current proficiency is low and career importance is high, so this might be an item to address. If the gap was a large positive number (e.g., 5), it would indicate that current proficiency was relatively high and career importance was relatively low, meaning you would NOT want to pick the item as one to address. |
