The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.

Developing Personal Potential
If you know what your personal potential is, how much have you developed it? Are you a novice, apprentice, professional or expert at what you do? Take this second quiz and find out how well you have developed your gifts and talents -- the most visible aspect of your potential.
In this quiz we have you start by listing your top gifts and talents or areas of excellence. Then you evaluate how much you have developed each area or talent based on the skill level you have achieved. At the end of the quiz, we help you score your answers, put your results into real world terms, interpret what your score means and find links to pages and tools which can help you raise your score.
Instructions
Like the first quiz, you can take this quiz online or print this page out. But make sure to keep a copy of your answers so you can use them in our third quiz.
Since this quiz is based on knowing your top gifts and talents, you can use the list you made in Quiz One. If you do not have a good list, you can make one by learning more about how to Find Your Gifts & Talents.
Once you have written down your list of gifts and talents, you will need to assess the level of skill you have developed each gift and talent to. If you have never had to assess your skill level before, this can be a challenging exercise to honestly look at how well you do what you do.
You want to focus only on the level you have taken each skill to. Ignore (for the moment) the amount of time, effort or money you have invested. If it helps, think of a person or result which embodies each level of development and compare your results to theirs to see where you fit best. Then see if the final score description feels right to you.
