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