Self-assessment involves answering a series of probing questions about oneself to gain better self-knowledge in key areas like personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life experiences. Questions cover topics such as describing one's personality in five words, listing statements that answer "who am I?", recalling favorite childhood memories, and identifying one's proudest achievement and greatest strengths and weaknesses in intellectual abilities and social skills. A timeline can also be drawn to indicate peak and worst situations over the course of one's life.
