Assessment #2

Instructions:

  • This assessment is divided into nine sections. Each section focuses on a specific IVP core competency and its sub-competencies.
  • For each sub-competency, you will be asked to rate your level of knowledge and how relevant that sub-competency is to your job/position.
  • You will rate each sub-competency on a scale of 1 to 5 where:
    Knowledge of sub-competency
    1 = No knowledge
    5 = Extensive knowledge/expertise
    Relevancy of sub-competency
    1 = Completely irrelevant to my job/position
    5 = Central to my job/position

You can stop the assessment and resume it at a later time by using the "Save and Continue Later" button at the bottom of the page.
