| Instructions: Review each item below and determine your current level of proficiency 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 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 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. In this event, you would NOT want to pick the item as one to address. |
