Self Assessment

Experienced Site Studio site builders will likely know their weaknesses more than they know their strengths. You might have judged your own skill levels while reading through the four domains listed above. It is quite natural for you to be more experienced and proficient in one domain than another. Also, within a domain, it is quite likely that you have hands-on experience on some topics but have never touched other areas within the same domain.

How to Use Self Assessment

We suggest you perform a skills and expertise self-assessment with respect to the domains and topics listed in the blueprint. The blueprint lists test objectives (topics) for each domain. Rank your skills on a scale of 0 to 10 against each test objective (0 for absolutely zero knowledge or exposure and 10 for complete mastery). Use 0 for absolutely zero knowledge or exposure and 10 for complete mastery of the topic.

• Topics with a score of 8+ are your strengths.

• Topics with a score of 5 to 7 will need some preparation.

• Topics with a score below 5 may require a lot of preparation, or guided instruction.

You may use the following table to carry out your own evaluation.
