Asking for specific examples instead of general opinion while taking feedback is part of which development skill?

Correct answer: Growth-oriented self-assessment

Correct answer: C. Growth-oriented self-assessment means examining one’s performance honestly and using feedback to improve. A general statement such as “Do better” is difficult to use because it does not show what happened, where the problem occurred, or what action should change. Asking for a specific example makes feedback observable and practical. The learner can then compare the example with the expected behaviour, identify a strength or weakness, and set a clear improvement goal. Option A is wrong because asking for evidence is not improper fear. Option B is wrong because the learner is actively seeking improvement, not avoiding work. Option C is correct because it connects feedback with self-reflection and development. Option D is wrong because a request for examples is not automatically insecurity. Memory cue: specific feedback turns criticism into an improvement plan.
