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 evaluate their essential skills.

The first section of this document consists of a series of statements designed to measure how effective an individual is at expanding his ability to learn by upgrading his skills and increasing his knowledge. The respondent must check off either Yes, Maybe or No for each statement.

The second section, on personal development, requires the respondent to identify both his strengths and the areas where his numeracy skills need improvement.
