Self-evaluation questionnaire on entrepreneurship competences.

The objective of self-evaluation questionnaire is to help each student to identify their self-awareness. Understanding their strengths is an important part of being self-aware and taking control of their career. Knowing their strengths and how to grow them can help them find a line of work that they will enjoy while also enabling them to improve their skills in the areas most relevant to their career path. People who understand their strengths have a better grasp of what makes them unique and how their personality impacts their team. Important part of self-awareness is also to learn one’s weaknesses to identify the room for progress in order that they are not being in a way for someone’s success. During the self-evaluation students also learn how to objectively evaluate their competencies so that they can progress through the project.
