UVIC Competency Self-Assessment Guide

This competency self-assessment is designed to help you identify your strengths and areas for development in relation to
the UVic competencies. It will provide valuable information in your Performance Planning and Review.
FIRST - Clarify why you are conducting your self-assessment.

Why do you want to complete a competency assessment?
By answering this question, you can help clarify your objectives for the competency assessment process. Please mark
the box(es) below that best describe(s) your objective(s):
Provide the foundation for my own professional development;

Assume more responsibility and exert more influence in my organization;
Document my current competencies;
Establish the basis for planning for the future;
Conduct career planning or assist with career management activities;
Other - explain
SECOND - Assess yourself against the competencies. Instructions are below.

Column one identifies the expected behavior of each competency. Column two asks you to identify how often you are
demonstrating the behaviors of each competency. Check how frequently you believe you are presently
demonstrating the described behavior for each competency. Use the following scale:
1= Not at all
2= Rarely (less than once/month)
3= Sometimes (less than once/week)
4= Often (about 1-2 times/week)
5= Very Often (almost daily)
Note: If you are using the on-line version, you can check the frequency in the box provided.

THEN Column three asks you to identify how important each behavior will be to your success over the next 1-3 years,
using the following 1-5 scale.
1= Not important
2= Of Little importance
3= Somewhat important
4= Important
5= Essential
Note: If you are using the on-line version, you can check the importance in the box provided.
FINALLY - Look back over your assessment for those competencies you rated as lower frequency and higher importance.
Ask yourself Is this important for me to develop right now? Indicate YES or NO in column four.
We recommend you take the time to interpret your results and plan your next steps using the Interpreting Your
Self-Assessment Workbook, in the HR ToolKit (on the Human Resources website under Competencies).
This information can be very helpful to your discussions with your Supervisor during Performance Planning and Review.
