Analysis of assessments
Referring to table 1 in appendix I, I was rated higher in terms of intrapersonal skills as compared to interpersonal skills. When my mean results were compared to the mean scores from the relevant articles cited by the survey, it was shown that I had a high score for attitude towards authority and rather low on self-monitoring score (<9). The other 3 aspects were rated moderate and close to the population mean. Results from all four surveys are rather similar with some discrepancies as shown in figure 2.

Thinking back, I should use a more tactful way to communicate to him that they may be violating the professional code of conduct for
