This assessment measures two components of self-efficacy:
1. Focus on your effort, progress, and learning: Do you approach challenging tasks with a growth mindset? Do you view mistakes and setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow?
2. Take steps to increase your confidence in your abilities: Do you use positive self-talk, calming strategies, and consciously focus on your past successes to build your confidence when facing new challenging tasks? Do you learn from others' successes?
The self-reflection section highlights your strengths, and the quiz section lets you know your currently knowledge of self-efficacy concepts.
