One can assess themselves using the following criterias:-

Self-assessment can help one in several ways. It is incredibly important to
self-assess yourself time and again to know your strengths and weakness and
improve on your flaws. There is no better way to assess yourself but to self-
assess because nobody understands oneself better than their own self. And

self-assessment in any criteria will only bring one more self-confidence.
