Among various perspectives, I wanted to look at the verbs that are used there to describe my accomplishments (one out of three components together with “strength” and “areas for improvement”).

Taking “worked” as a baseline (100%), I have calculated the rate for the rest of verbs relatively.

In addition, grouping verbs by their nature (excluding neutral “worked”), I can tell now, precisely how my work looks like:

Know yourself. 🙂
