Self-Concept Worksheet

This worksheet is made up of three parts with various prompts to complete and questions to
answer that you should comply.
First Part.
1.Who are you? How do you perceive yourself? Engage in freewriting. In the space below, write
about
yourself. I’m Archie and I’m 2nd year taking BSARCHI in TIP. I want to be a license architect soon
because that’s my dream, but I also want to be a vlogger someday I love making videos and to be
famous also.

Note: If you get a bit lost or needs a better explanation you can refer to the descriptions of self-
concept here. It reads,
“Self-concept is based on belief rather than on facts. Your self-concept does not necessarily
correspond with external reality—others may “see” you differently. What you believe about
yourself is true for you. It will be a powerful factor in determining your behavior. For example, if
you believe you are inferior to others, you will probably act in a self-defecting fashion. If you
believe you are strong and resilient, you will likely succeed, even against great odds. Your self-
concept can help or hinder you.”
Second Part.
Review your self-description and identify three(3) qualities as your greatest strengths and two
(2) qualities you see as your most serious weaknesses.
Question #1.
Which self-concept beliefs do you cling to despite feedback to the contrary? Think of one of
your self-concept beliefs that may be out-of-date and write it down.
you need to get along with others so they can treat you right and gain confidence

After you identify your out-of-date belief, write about how and why you have revised (or
should revise) this belief.
I think differently about that belief because you don't need to fit in with others for them to accept
you and gain confidence.
Question #2.
List a self-belief that may be keeping you from reaching your potential and explain how it limits
you.
Question #3.
Reflect on your self-talk for a day. Identify three (3) examples of negative self-talk, along with
three (3) positive affirmation you could use to replace the negative self-talk.
1. "I'm not good"
2. "I always mess things up"
3. "I could never do it"
Positive affirmations:
1. "I am capable and worthy"
2. "I learn from my mistakes and grow stronger"
3. "I have confidence in my abilities and believe in myself"

Question #4.
Who is that one person, if there(is) who had the greatest impact on who you are today? Explain.
for me it's my uncle because he teaches me and he helps our family and no matter what help he
gets he doesn't scold or ask for anything in return so I'm impressed with

Question #5.
Focus on career and/or your program.
How did you choose your career or area of study? When did you realize you had talents or
ability in this area?
At first I really liked drawing but when I was in high school I was interested in computers and
vlogging so before I went to college I would have taken IT but my heart was more open and I chose
my passion so I chose Architecture

What or Who do you think influenced your decision?

no one really influenced me, I just loved drawing and designing

What do people tell you that you are good at? Do you agree? Why or Why not?
People who know me say that I am good at drawing.
Third Part.
The Mosquito Principle. This principle posits that, like a hungry mosquito at a picnic, your life is
only as good as the worst thing in it. A picnic can be lovely but if there is a mosquito pestering you,
you won’t be able to truly enjoy the food and companionship. We can be distracted from the best
things in our life by the worst thing. (i.e. the mosquito)
Briefly explain a mosquito-i.e., the worst thing—in your life. How might you get rid of this
mosquito?
