Assessing Your Skills:

Many of you came to MIT with an abundance of skills, perhaps in many different areas. Write a short paragraph describing your role in a project that you enjoyed (this may be a personal or professional activity or accomplishment, which you may have included on your resume).

Share your accomplishment story with a partner. Using the following Skills Sort Exercise sheet, have your partner check off skills that you exhibited.

Next, complete the Skills Sort Exercise on your own. Are there any differences between the skills you identify and the ones your partner identified?
