National Adult Literacy Database

This is one in a series of self-assessment tools prepared by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) to help individuals determine their grasp of essential skills.

The first section of this document includes a series of statements designed to measure how well a person can find, understand or enter information in different types of documents. The individual must check off either Yes, Somewhat or No in response to each statement.

The second section, on personal development, requires the respondent to identify both his strengths and the areas where he needs improvement in the use of documents.
