Thank you so much for including me in Shadowmatch Thank you so much for including me in Shadowmatch. It was interesting indeed and parts of the assessment were embarrassingly accurate! - CHS - BACHELOR OF ARTS in Communication Science Thank you for the worksheet and feedback. I must say I was quite surprised to see how spot on the results were. I would like to find out if one can use this report as an annexure added to ones CV… Please could you confirm how I may extend the opportunity to my colleagues to participate in the study? Thanks for receiving this motivational tool, that I regard as means for sharpening my reasoning strength. It would be nice if my whole family could do this. I think this would benefit them as well. I really enjoyed Shadowmatch activity. Thanks to the team! – CHS –Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology What a GEM! Really impressed and thanks for the report afterwards, this is a great tool for development and clarity.
