WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Assessment of Self-Development Abilities Test

Self-Development Ability Assessment Test

businessself-development

The measure is designed to evaluate perceived capacity for self-directed learning and personal growth. Self-Development Ability Assessment provides a brief snapshot of self-development attitudes and behaviors that may be relevant in counseling, coaching, or organizational settings.

The instrument consists of 21 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Developed by C. D. Ryff, it is intended to help identify relative strengths and potential areas for improvement in self-management, motivation for change, and engagement in ongoing development.

Results from the Self-Development Ability Assessment should be interpreted in context and integrated with other clinical or organizational information rather than used as a standalone basis for decision-making.
