Developing Psychological Literacy
According to McGovern, psychological literacy is being insightful and reflective about one’s own and others’ behaviour and mental processes’ and having the ability to apply ‘psychological principles to personal, social, and organisational issues in work, relationships and the broader community’.

Additionally, it does require significant self-management to understand the judgements these self-reports offer.
Some of these self-report measures can be found on the Curiosity page.
