SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The authority granted by Starfleet Medical P.D. finds the subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty, as of her assessment date. Authority affirms that no psychological trauma was observed during the interview.
During interview, subject presented a collected and composed manner, appearing relaxed enough to engage in the occasional smiled expression or periodic joke without compromising her respect for the gravity of the session. Subject takes her responsibilities to her work and her subordinates quite seriously, demonstrating a principled ethic that generally does her and her reputation credit. Subject's recent joining has left her in an integrated enough state with her symbiont, though she continues to refer to her past hosts and treats them though as they are currently living disparate individuals within her, so perhaps it is still a work in progress yet.
Authority's greatest concern is the subject's seemingly impenetrable facade of self-assuredness, which nearly borders on arrogance. While command officers must generally be, by necessity, very confident individuals, this cannot be at the expense of self-awareness. Occasional doubt is necessary to keep a balanced and honest perspective of one’s circumstances. Authority is uncertain whether this personality trait existed prior to the subject’s Joining or whether its an after effect, since Joining usually grants an individual a significant boost in self-confidence.
Regardless, there is a reasonable concern that the absoluteness of the subject's opinion on herself makes her ill-equipped to recognize situations in which a problem may exist, but subject may be incapable of questioning herself sufficiently to acknowledge it. The subject's decision to leave the Trill post-Joining observation period prematurely is an example of this conceitedness, as well as the subject's responses on the locus of control survey. Subject rarely acknowledges that situations could ever be outside her control.
Lastly, authority was also generally left with a vague sense that subject's responses were sometimes not entirely authentic, with the subject speaking simply what she believed the authority wanted to hear.
