personal inventory

Catalog of belongings

A personal inventory is a systematic self-assessment of one's character traits, behaviors, strengths, and shortcomings.

The term is most associated with twelve-step recovery programs, where participants take a searching and fearless moral inventory to identify patterns that contributed to addiction.

More broadly, any deliberate stock-taking of one's qualities: Before the job interview, I did a personal inventory of my skills.
