The Assessment
• In each of the rows, there are four terms. Consider how well each of them describes you. Rank the terms in each row in the order of 1 (Least Like You) up to 4 (Most Like You). The boxes should be numbered 1 to 4 in each row so that in each row you have a 1, 2, 3, and 4. Example:
The Assessment
• Once you have numbered every box, total each of the columns.
• You will have a total for column A, column B, column C, and Column D.
• These four numbers should add up to 100. (If they don’t, double check that you only used 1-4 one time in each row.)
• One the back page, put these four numbers in the corresponding boxes.
