A self-assessment is a thorough evaluation of one’s self and actions and attitudes.

Some assessment that correlate with behaviorism is locus of control and self-efficacy, both are based on outcomes either dealing with one’s self and the environment. My result for the locus of control assessment was a 7 based off a range of 0-13 A high score indicated an external locus of control while a low score indicates an internal locus of control. Looking at my score I would say I have a mind range of locus of control meaning I think I have control over what happens to me but with some circumstances I believe outside forces and influences do what happens to me like luck, chance and faith. My results for the self-efficacy quiz was a total of 37 based off a total range of 10-40 with the higher score meaning a higher self-efficacy. This result indicates I have high self-efficacy meaning that I’m very confident in myself when it comes to completing tasks and goals I set for myself and I’m not doubtful of my own
