Skills Assessment

3 skills that I enjoy are: Organizing, Observing, and Maintaining.
3 skills that I perform well are: Following specifications, writing, and self-motivation.
3 skills that I would like to develop are: Operating, diagnosing, and Creating.

The skills that I would like to acquire require a lot of hands-on training and just practicing them a lot. I seem to break everything mechanical that I touch, so it might take more practice for myself than someone else.

After taking the online assessment I kind of laughed, because it came up with a Respiratory Therapy Technician and then a Nuclear Engineer. Although, I would find these jobs very fascinating, my mechanical skills aren't the best, as I mentioned above. I'm finding more and more that the jobs that I would like and the skills that I enjoy are things that bring a challenge to me. I just worry with those types of jobs that at the end of the day, I just might not be smart enough to do it. Math and science are some of my worst school subjects, but the jobs that I would like seem to have a lot of math and science to go with them.
