01. Thought Diagnostics! Self-Reflection Activity

Activity Objective

Read MoreThe activity is intended to help you assess your current thought dispositions and practices with respect to a few specific workplace activities. The output of this self-reflection will provide you with data points, which you can utilise in your journey to being a capable ‘strategy advisor’.

Please note that the questionnaire/ tool itself is indicative – and not psychometric- in nature.

Instructions:

Request you to go through the statements mentioned in the self-reflection tool below and pick the response that best applies to your current disposition.

Remember, this is not an assessment. You can’t pass or fail this activity, and you are not required to share the results of this questionnaire with anyone. So, please be as candid and honest as you can possibly be.

Furthermore, your responses should be indicative of the way you operate at present, not how you aspire to operate in future, or the ‘correct’ way to operate in the given circumstances.
