Self-Assessment- Self-Awareness

Self-regulating professionals … must systematically and intentionally elicit the views of others (both explicit opinion and implicit reaction) in order to fully develop

an accurate [assessment] of oneself.




Self-Assessment- Self-Improvement

The route to self-improvement is not through becoming a more accurate [self-examiner],

but through seeking out feedback from reliable and valid external sources

… and then… making a special effort to take the resulting feedback seriously rather than

discounting it: to reflect rather than ruminate.


Self-Assessment

Self-assessment functions as a monitor, mentor, and a motivator through

processes such as evaluation, inference, and prediction
