Assessing Your Self-Awareness: This inventory is for you only. No one else will receive it.

Numeric Response: For each of the following questions enter the number that best describes you. Be willing to be totally objective about yourself and score the questions accordingly. Choose a number from the following scale:
 
Strongly Agree = 1; Agree = 2; Neutral = 3; Disagree = 4; Strongly Disagree = 5
 
Scoring and Interpretation
Add up your numbers for the 30 questions after you would have answered them. Key the score in the completion item provided. Each of the questions represents factors that enhance self-awareness. The numerical ratings are in reverse correlation to degree of agreement, however.   So, the lower your total, the better your self-awareness skills. The higher your total score, the more improvement you need in acting to enhance your self-awareness. In general, if you scored more than 90, the medium score possible, you should create a plan for improving your self awareness.
