The Basic Skills survey shows you skills you may be good at. My results were tied with top four clusters: Active Listening, Mathematics, Science, and Learning Strategies. Again, I wasn’t too surprised at my results. I am normally strong in both math and science. I definitely will use these results to determine my career choice. …show more content…
