Discussion
In both the academic and professional field, soft transferrable skills bring the significant impact
in terms of developing the good bonding with the team members (Magsamen-Conrad et al.
2020). Communication cam be considered as one of the effective skills that enhance the
interactive ability of a person, which reflects the positive attitude of a person towards others.
Creativity and integrity are also included in the soft transferrable skill that can help to share the
personal as well as professional values in the workplace (Messum et al. 2017). In order to
understand by employability skills, self-assessment has been conducted by me. Using the self-
assessment tools such as emotional intelligence test and big five personality tests and mind tools
such as time management test, team developing skill, communication and career development
ability test, I have analyzed my own strength as well as abilities which has helped me to
understand what kind of abilities I have developed in mine.
In the emotional intelligence test, it has been identified by me that I have scored 8 in self-
awareness, in self-management I have scored 4, in Social awareness I have scored 5 and in
relationship management I have scored 5. Analyzing all the scores, I have gained knowledge
regarding my strength as well as weaknesses. The score that I have gained in the self-assessment,
it defines that I am not self-confident and not quite aware of my limitations, which can create
negative impact on achieving the professional goals. On the other hand, I can also say that
honesty and integrity are the important weaknesses of mine. I have scored well in self-awareness,
which denotes that I am quite realistic and aware of my surroundings. This denotes the problem
solving ability of mine. In case of self-awareness and relationship management, I have scored
moderate. It defines that I need to work on improving these skills of mine.
