Stengths: Intrinsic Motivation, Will to Succeed, Commitment
Mid-Range: Presence (focusing on the here and now), Negotiating, Self Confidence (this one suprised me)
Areas for Improvement: Abilitiy to relax, Self Talk (the way you talk to yourself), and Mental quiet
The areas for improvement definately apply to me when I audition. I am usually not extremely relaxed, I say bad things to myslef and think of the worst that could happen, and I have this constant voice that criticies what I am doing while am playing. This was a highly usuful survery which confirms and empowers. It helps to give you exactly what you need to work on and what one should know in order to improve yourself.
