Self-Assessment
A companion tool for The Builder’s Mindset by Gena Gorlin, PhD
Below are 30 statements about how you approach your work, your ambitions, and your life. For each one, indicate how much you agree or disagree.
All of the statements below express views that plenty of thoughtful people hold. To get the most value from this measure, answer based on how you actually tend to think and feel—not how you think you should.
1 = Strongly Disagree<br>2 = Disagree<br>3 = Slightly Disagree<br>4 = Slightly Agree<br>5 = Agree<br>6 = Strongly Agree
