National Adult Literacy Database

This document allows individuals to assess their Essential Skills strengths and weaknesses.

The document includes statements that describe common trades-related tasks for each of the nine Essential Skills. The respondent is asked to read each statement, then place a check mark in the column that best describes his ability to complete the task.

A skill with five or more check marks in the “Somewhat” or “No” columns indicates an area that needs improvement. The results can be recorded in the skills summary section to help the respondent get a better understanding of his training needs.
