Character in Government
Evidence and information work depends on integrity, confidentiality, and responsible handling of sensitive or consequential data.
Target level: Emerging — Just beginning to learn or acquire the skill.
Why this design
Rate yourself against the level descriptions, then get rated, then reconcile the gap. Self-management and character content, where self-report needs a check.
