● While I use it on self, I can invite peers, observers, facilitators to use the same tool on me.
● I can note observations which arise out of the usage of the tool in words or as drawings in my notebook and use this notebook as a journal of observing self over time.
● What I assess myself about is perhaps more important than how I assess - hence I plan myassessment.
