Introduction 00
You’ve made it through your first semester of 1L. Take a moment to celebrate your success in navigating the important transition from being an untested novice to becoming a savvier and more seasoned law student. Utilize this report to help you reflect on your journey thus far. Your experiences, positive and negative, formal and informal, in class and out, are a wealth of useful information. The tools in this report help you uncover important data about yourself that can make this semester and all subsequent semesters that much more productive and satisfying.
Armed with increased self-knowledge about your personal style and distinctive qualities, things feel more understandable and therefore manageable. Challenges are seen with greater perspective and may be bit easier to handle. Interactions may go a bit more smoothly. Your career search will be a bit more directed and purposeful and your decision making will be a bit more sure-footed. It is also likely that developing your self-awareness will help you handle setbacks with greater aplomb and make it possible for you to get back on track a bit more quickly when things – inevitably – don’t go exactly as planned.

Super Analyzing
Beth understands logic and analyzes or figures out the essential principles. That is what Super Analyzing is all about. Those with this superpower are constantly evaluating, defining, and identifying if something is correct or incorrect based on the sophisticated logical models and complex mental concepts they use.
For Beth it is very frustrating that most other people do not logically analyze or figure out their decisions. She often can't turn off the need to analyze things. Those with Super Analyzing are often dismayed because almost the entire world seems illogical or 'stupid' to them.
Her sophisticated analysis can sometimes result in a fairly biting wit. And when overused this can result in a perfectionist approach and evaluation of both herself and those around her.
It is also this constant mental sharpening that results in amazing progress on any problem that can be analyzed and solved by principles. Beth often thinks all problems can and should be solved by logic and reasoning.

Distinctive Qualities 02
Based on the Sheffield Assessment, this section identifies your most distinct, "stand out" characteristics, or how you're different from the norm as compared to our database of attorneys.
Self-Starter
Beth frequently takes initiative to complete tasks without requiring instruction or supervision from others. Lawyers with strengths in this area will recognize a need, develop a plan for completing a task, and work towards the completion of the task, all on their own. Lawyers with above average levels of this trait also generally possess higher emotional intelligence, as they generally express their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a direct, yet constructive way. One caveat, however, is that Beth should remember to check in with managers and team members to be sure that projects are proceeding as expected and that changes to the original plan have not been made in the interim.
Goal Driven
Beth frequently sets goals for planning purposes or for measuring personal or organizational success. Her goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about her future, and for turning this vision of the future into reality. Multiple studies have shown that explicit goal-setting has been found to be a shared trait among highly successful people.
Predictability
Beth finds comfort in predictable, routine patterns. This is a positive characteristic for work areas that are more stable and systematic in nature.
