On Course Self Assessment

To begin, read the following statements and score each one according to how true or false you believe it is about you.  To get an accurate picture of yourself, consider what IS true about you (not what you want to be true).  Remember, there are no right or wrong answers.  

Assign each statement a number form 0 to 10 as follows:
