General Self Awareness - Interpretation of Responses
If you had high scores for your answers to questions 1, 2, and 4, you are high in self-awareness.
You know your values, you are willing to take a stand based on your values, and you have clear limits to what you will and will not do.
If you had high scores for your answers to questions 3 and 5, you are high in self-delusion and need to increase the accuracy of your self-awareness.
Since it is impossible for any human being to make decisions that are always consistent with personal values (Q3), you are kidding yourself. A more realistic answer would be lower. Likewise, it is unlikely that anyone has never made a mistake or done something that hurts others (Q5). A more realistic answer would be lower.
