This document is part of a series of self-assessment tools prepared by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) to help individuals evaluate their Essential Skills. This self-assessment focuses on problem solving, decision making, and job-task planning and organizing.

The first section contains a series of statements that demonstrate how thinking skills are used to carry out tasks in the workplace. The respondent must check off Yes, Somewhat, or No for each statement.

In the second section, the respondent identifies both his strengths and the areas where improvement is needed, and uses that analysis to develop plans for further training.
