INTERVIEW STARDATE: ((9 Jan 2023))

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

During interview, subject was unfailingly attentive and straightforward throughout. Her answers were generally to the point and minimal, though not incomplete, and she never paused to overthink a response before giving it. Despite her sometimes sparse responses in the first half of interview, subject required more precision on the Likert scale survey and did not hesitate to respond with such. Subject spoke in an informal manner and did not venture to make light at any time, though she was willing to respond with humor when the situation called for it. Authority notes that subject may have a tendency to reflexively assume more literal meanings when question prompts have potentially multiple interpretations.

Subject noted that she potentially regrets not having spent more of her earlier career in a wider variety of postings, feeling that she has potentially missed out on some wells of experience as a result. Subject harbors no particular ambition at this point in her career beyond what she has already achieved. Subject’s outlook is mildly optimistic and many responses were only of moderate strength, if not entirely neutral. Contrasted with subject’s secure levels of self-esteem, subject merely seems to reserve some degree of commitment in her responses due to the largely hypothetical nature of the exercise.

Subject’s emotional support network is satisfactory. Locus of control is firmly external. BFI-2 scores: high conscientiousness and agreeableness. Moderate openness to experience and extraversion. Low negative emotionality.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject is an institutionalist at heart, holding great trust in the system and his colleagues. As long as that trust is properly respected, Subject will encounter no issue carrying out duties and obligations. Subject was straightforward, direct, and cooperative in the encounter. While Subject holds a position that may involve garnering reasonable suspicion in the course of their duties, Subject appears to maintain trust in their fellows in civil society as well.

Authority recommends that Subject continue along this course of development by being placed in positions that require Starfleet Security to interact with the public to develop the social skills that coincide with Subject’s interests and worldview.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty with caveat.

DISCUSSION

Initial cursory questions quickly ran into difficulty. Following typical inquiries into why Subject has chosen to rejoin Starfleet, initial answers were curt, short, and led to natural follow-up questions. Once a request for a specific instance in which Subject found the work rewarding as they had previously enumerated, Subject expressed distrust in either the evaluation process itself or its evaluator. On the basis that the purpose of the evaluation was to establish a baseline assessment and the source of the resistance falls outside the scope, Evaluator chose to redirect towards a more welcome questionnaire.

Subject’s responses are short and often treated reasoning to be self-evident. At the same time, Subject was clear and coherent in answers. It is clear that expected levels of reasoning in answering the wide range of questions does occur and does not incur any particularized concerns from the Evaluator. Socialization is also at a level that shows stability and competence in stressful situations. This is true from both formal answers and informal stimuli involving Evaluator’s tacos.

It is clear that Subject is capable of conducting themselves appropriately, properly rationalizing decisions, and performing duties satisfactorily. Issues may arise when the basis of the decision is questioned or the reasoning is expected to be articulated beyond personal preference.

Whatever concerns exist fail to give rise to any failure of evaluation or bar from service. However, Evaluator does recommend to decision-makers in-depth sessions to address lingering concerns. As stated, it is not expected to substantially impede Subject’s current duties. It must be stressed though that a baseline assessment is necessary but wholly insufficient to address any latent psychological questions.

Cleared for service.

INTERVIEW STARDATE: ((22 Feb 2023))

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented a brisk and, apart from a brief salute, comfortable manner at interview. Subject was transparent about her emotions, unafraid and unembarrassed to bare them to others, and expressing them both physically and verbally. Currently the subject is going through a period of severe lifestyle transition, including major shifts in both career and family focus, so there was understandably an undercurrent of stress and anticipation underscoring most of the discussion, but largely the subject is optimistic and excited about the direction life is taking her. Authority is largely unconcerned, but suggested if she starts to become distracted by her anxiety, coming up with backup life plans in case the first ones fall through might assist with calming them.

When motivation for career change was discussed, subject confessed to a certain level of exhaustion in regards to command and experiences with ‘bad apple’ colleagues that inevitably leave a long lasting impression. Still a believer in Starfleet ideals, subject is hoping to pursue a shift to law, and is accepting that she may sometimes be asked to handle difficult cases or clients in honor of due process.

Subject’s world view is moderately positive and optimistic, but more neutral and almost trending negative regarding her opinion on the motivations of others. Locus of control is balanced, slightly more internal. Emotional support network is sufficient. Substance abuse history was briefly addressed and continues to be under control. BFI-2 scores: high openness to experience, extraversion, negative emotionality. Moderate agreeableness. Low conscientiousness.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Throughout the interview, subject was unfailingly considerate and ever ready to smooth over discussion points by infusing his responses with a casual warmth and cleverness and sometimes self-deprecation. Subject frequently demonstrated amusement and cheer during the conversation. Taken altogether with the previous, it lends the subject an obvious skill with developing rapport with others in every level of acquaintance. Authority additionally observed a level of discomfort when it came to the subject discussing himself and was unsure if this was due to an aversion to any potential for appearing either narcissistic or ambitious or because the subject has difficulty with discussing his self-introspection.

Subject attests that his transfer to station was largely motivated out of feeling a need to step out of his comfort zone, which is remarkably proactive in terms of self-improvement and very laudable, though it may be challenging to maintain. Subject conscientiously seeks a fulfilled and rewarding life of service and aid to others and it’s possible that this has come at the expense of his own social and emotional support, but subject seems to have all the required tools for reversing this course, so authority is cautiously optimistic that this will change with the new environment.

Subject trends squarely positive and optimistic in world view and in opinion on the motivations of others. Despite frequent self-deprecation, subject has a healthy level of self-esteem and confidence in himself. Locus of control is mostly internal. BFI-2 scores: high conscientiousness and agreeableness. Moderate openness to experience and extraversion. Low negative emotionality.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Routine examination.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Authority’s interview with the subject was characteristically pleasant and relaxed, even when sometimes discussing difficult subjects. In many ways, subject seems unchanged from the early days when authority first met him. He continues to be thoughtful and considerate of professional propriety, happy to indulge in cheerful banter and conversation, and eminently approachable by even those who seem to know him only by reputation. Layered deep under his happy mannerisms, however, subject disclosed that he was enduring a sense of weariness and has been finding it increasingly difficult to take pauses from the work to look up and around him at the world that seems to be passing him by.

Authority recognizes that the subject has always generally kept his cards close to his chest, so to speak, and he often effaces a positive outlook for others while potentially feeling something else internally, making it difficult to form genuine connections with others. Subject was encouraged and agreed to make a concerted effort to seek more social opportunities in order to connect more concretely with other individuals, both new and old alike. As subject has high resiliency, his command is unlikely to be impacted by these developments, but authority ultimately hopes for better than the subject’s simple sufficiency.

Subject trends moderately positive on world view, and more neutral to slightly negative on the motivations of others. Self-esteem levels are on the lower end of the spectrum. Locus of control is balanced. Emotional support network has potential for improvement. BFI-2 scores: high openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion. Moderate negative emotionality.

SUBJECT’S NAME: Heart, Rhoxie

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Some of the impact of the subject’s unique career trajectory can be clearly observed in her attitude and presentation. Subject holds herself with obvious confidence which manifests itself in multiple ways, from the way she delivers easy compliments about those who surround her to her fairly physical style of self-expression. Despite this, subject is mindful of the potential line for arrogance and stated that she doesn’t seek validation from others, which potentially means her habitual flirtatious gestures could be an affectation purely for the benefit of those she’s interacting with.

Many of subject’s responses additionally pointed to a treasured sense of independence, both in her personal life and in professional competence. Subject holds no particular affinity for her family relations, evidently mutually content with their rarely overlapping lifestyles. She was capable of fluidly moving from a lighthearted emotional state to a more serious one and vice versa, neither in denial of difficult moments in her past nor excessively bogged down by them. Most of subject’s answers came easily to her, but subject was reasonably thoughtful with questions where no impulse answer came to mind.

Subject trends moderately optimistic in outlook and neutral on the motivations of others. Balanced locus of control. Emotional support network is most likely less than adequate, though subject seems unlikely to care. BFI-2 scores: high openness to experience, extraversion. Moderate agreeableness and conscientiousness. Low negative emotionality.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Throughout interview, authority primarily noted how subject was brimming with a restless sort of ambition and a distinct desire to prove himself. Subject craves new experiences and the gratification that comes from living those experiences, perhaps also the regard and respect from others that sometimes accompanies that. Subject was candid with his responses and periodically interjected with humor. He was sometimes thoughtful, but there were also multiple times when the subject was caught off guard by authority’s inquiries, evidencing incredulousness or impatience, as if the answers should have been too obvious to warrant the question. Authority suspects it is possible the subject may not indulge in much self-introspection or detailed planning for the future.

Subject currently estranged from surviving family, a topic he was reluctant to dwell on for too long, but appears to be establishing strong ties of friendship. Cited only a few recreational activities and most appear to involve the participation or competition of others, so subject may be a bit over reliant on social connections in order to decompress.

Subject trends strongly optimistic with high self-confidence, only moderately positive on the motivations of others. Locus of control is definitively external. BFI-2 scores: high openness to experience, agreeableness, extraversion. Moderate negative emotionality. Low conscientiousness.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

During interview, subject was frankly skittish and agitated, actively avoiding eye contact and generally providing terse responses to questions that were asked. While subject’s personal background, young age, and junior rank do provide substantive explanations for this behavior, authority nonetheless saw fit to confront the subject on the necessity of adjusting his expectations to befit those of a Starfleet officer safely amongst his peers.

Subject received said advice with a modicum of embarassment, but also a sort of resigned acknowledgement. Subject would most likely benefit from periodic introspection to honestly assess if he is making progress, as it is often all too easy to let force of habit carry us through our days. Authority otherwise notes that subject possesses a pensive manner and, despite their brevity, generally gave candid answers. Subject is fundamentally cautious, disposed to waiting and anticipating when action may be needed.

Subject’s opinion on the motivations of others is neutral to negative, while his worldview remains neutral. Some of subject’s answers suggested he might have ordinarily been more inclined towards optimism, but personal experiences have retrained him to be reflexively more guarded. Emotional support network is inadequate. Locus of control is determinedly external. BFI-2 scores: high conscientiousness, agreeableness. Moderate openness to experience. Low extraversion, negative emotionality.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

First and foremost, the subject’s disdain for counselors must be noted as a factor in this evaluation. Prior instances of mandatory counseling following traumatic events have left a strongly negative impression upon the subject. Whether past counseling efforts have been successful despite her impression is questionable but probably moot, as it is highly likely that mandatory sessions are the only circumstances under which subject would receive psychological care in the future.

Subject has apparently been the victim of long-term prejudice based on her species and now, she believes, her disability. Subject has a healthy level of career-minded ambition and confidence in her work-related abilities, despite having generally resigned herself to low self-esteem. Subject reacts strongly to feeling judged, and feels it necessary to conceal her nature from those not otherwise informed.

Subject’s outlook trends towards pessimistic, mildly overall, but strongly on the motivations of others. Locus of control remains fairly balanced, despite an apparently weak personal sense of self. Emotional support network is somewhat diminished by recent transfer, but subject recognizes the significance and is likely to re-develop. Subject also maintains a notably strong relationship with her adoptive mother.

Subject rated particularly high in conscientiousness. Paired with moderately high openness to experience, her career path feels well-suited. Subject rated moderate in extraversion and negative emotionality, carried strongly by assertiveness and energy level with a propensity towards depression and very low sociability. This is consistent with noted low agreeableness, and a particular lack of trust. While subject’s scores may be viewed as a positive or even prerequisite for her job duties, there is potential concern for increased general stress levels and difficulty recovering from negative outcomes.

INTERVIEW STARDATE: 99476.3

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be conditionally fit for active duty, contingent upon attendance of regular counseling sessions.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented initially as pleasant and well-collected, if perhaps mildly nervous. His responses were generally thoughtful and sincere, with only a few brief instances of evasiveness. Though this assessment did not truly constitute a counseling session, a multitude of issues were discussed, and the subject seemed to react positively to feedback and to the opportunity to speak openly about his feelings. Despite perhaps a slight preoccupation with ensuring his return to duty, subject’s refreshingly positive attitude towards counseling bodes extremely well for the future.

As the subject is a relatively recent arrival to the station, new to large facility postings in general, and considering he has been thrust into a position of authority, it is perhaps understandable that he expressed a sense of isolation. Authority determined, however, that subject’s feeling is likely more deeply rooted, especially when viewed in light of other notable findings: reluctance to initiate new relationships, abandonment of recreational activities, difficulty sleeping, frequent recurrent nightmares involving a sense of helplessness, and significantly increased alcohol consumption.

These disturbances began with and are tied directly to a traumatic event ending subject’s previous posting. Subject is a survivor of the destruction of the USS Retribution. The ship’s captain, with whom subject maintained a friendship, as well as a significant portion of the crew were killed. Subject himself was forcibly placed in an escape pod by his compatriots at the last moment, interrupting his likely ill-fated attempts to rescue more of the crew. Subject’s current posting comes after a 1.5-month leave period, and represents a shift in his career trajectory. Subject has received no prior former counseling on the subject and has deliberately avoided discussing it with others.

Via self-evaluation and authority observation, subject’s outlook, both worldview and on the motivations of others, trends moderate-to-strongly optimistic with slightly higher than average self-esteem. Locus of control is balanced, leaning neither particularly internal nor external. Emotional support network is modest, with room for improvement. It includes a Starfleet admiral who’s served as something of a mentor after the death of subject’s parents, and friends from previous postings, now separated. Subject has not yet developed significant relationships aboard station, or resumed his previous hobbies, though he was open to authority’s suggestion that he begin making connections.

Like many on his career path, subject rated extremely highly in conscientiousness. Of note, openness to experience and agreeableness both rated high as well, with a particularly noteworthy level of trust. This correlates well with subject’s optimistic outlook and is well-suited to help balance a similarly high level of assertiveness. Extraversion rated moderately high, primarily due to assertiveness, while negative emotionality rated moderately low.

Subject’s BFI-2 scores and above noted general tendencies paint the picture of an extremely well-adjusted officer, likely to be fairly resilient. That he is, instead, struggling with clear and untreated psychiatric symptoms speaks to the severity of the trauma he endured and the need for ongoing counseling.

The standard profile assessment was extended to include PTSD screening criteria, which was 8/8 positive. Authority has entered an appropriate diagnosis into subject’s file as a result. Subject has recently received a prescription for sleep aids, which he reports are allowing him to function at or near his baseline level of performance. Medical file accessed for continuity of care and verification (ref: 99454). In the short-term, authority is satisfied with this treatment and content to clear him for active duty on the condition that he begin attending regular counseling sessions and that those sessions reflect improvement over time.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Counseling Routine Exam

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject has not had a formal psychological evaluation performed by Starfleet in almost four years. Combat-related stressors noted at that time were not expected nor present in this instance, and subject seems to have largely moved on from those events.

Prior evals also noted difficulties in the wake of subject’s joining with symbiont Vel. Subject ended her post-joining recovery early to tend to her Starfleet duties, with negative results. Subject reported that she subsequently returned to Trill for an experience equivalent to the completion of the typical post-joining process. Despite subject’s report of everything now being normal, authority noted a marked difference between subject’s expressed and implied perceptions related to both her previous hosts and the relationship between current host and symbiont, when compared to the average Joined Trill. Further, authority discovered that the current host of the subject is the granddaughter of a previous host. Subject is, effectively, her own grandfather, which authority speculates may be responsible for some of the current host/symbiont dissonance. While this is definitely an oddity, authority does not believe it an active detriment to subject’s mental health. Should host/symbiont integration issues arise in the future, questions about the exact nature of Vel’s joining to Lunya should be directed to the Symbiosis Commission.

In the more recent past, subject experienced the loss of a family member. She appears to have dealt with her grief in a healthy manner and returned to duty after a reasonable period of leave. Subject reported few close friends, but she does maintain a variety of recreational activities that put her in regular social contact with members of her crew. Subject remains highly confident, consistent with prior post-joining evals, though authority notes that it seems to have been blunted by a measure of self-awareness and increased maturity. The previously-noted arrogance has diminished and subject’s responses felt authentic and considered.

Subject’s views and tendencies are extremely well-balanced with only a very very slight trend towards optimism on the opinions of others. Locus of control is likewise balanced, not leaning particularly internal nor external. Self-esteem is mildly positive. What subject’s emotional support circle lacks in depth is made up for by its breadth, though this is likely to balance out as well as subject becomes accustomed to her return to the 38th and has the opportunity to socialize outside her own subordinates.

Subject rates unusually high in conscientiousness, even compared to other officers with similar career paths, with similarly remarkably high scores in openness to experience and agreeableness. Aesthetic sensitivity and respectfulness are standouts in these areas. Assertive extraversion rated quite high as well. Subject scored virtually zero in negative emotionality. This field of responses indicates an officer likely to be both extremely effective and self-satisfied. While generally positive, this prompts some mild concern for a future inability to recognize emotional stressors and to learn from mistakes.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented as composed, easy-going, and well-adjusted. Results may be slightly skewed towards positivity as a result of subject’s recent transfer to a shipboard posting, which represents the fulfillment of a lifelong goal. Authority believes this effect to likely be minimal, however, especially considering the apparent ease and understanding with which subject accepted his previous “less ideal” posting.

Subject’s outlook trends generally optimistic, slightly in worldview but quite strongly on the motivations of others. Self-esteem is above average, and locus of control leans slightly external. Subject’s local emotional support network is new but growing, and despite self-describing as not particularly social, authority believes he is likely to avail himself of his support structure’s benefits more readily than most.

Like many career Starfleet officers, subject rated highly in conscientiousness and agreeableness. A moderately high openness to experience is likewise not particularly surprising in a driven engineer, and may indicate a propensity for outside-the-box thinking. Subject’s middling extraversion is driven primarily by energy level rather than assertiveness. Combined with correspondingly low negative emotionality, this strongly supports the subject’s self-stated satisfaction with his present career and position.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject’s unfortunate upbringing as a slave of the Orion Syndicate accounts for most of the observed idiosyncrasies documented below, though it is mildly concerning that subject has retained such a high degree of negativity despite the amount of time she has spent as a member of Starfleet.

Subject was easy to smile and open with her responses, if occasionally feeling disingenuous. Subject reported a distaste for being the object of attention commensurate with her species’ stereotypes, but displayed a paradoxical tendency to highlight those very stereotypes, diverting to them without prompting from otherwise unrelated lines of questioning. Likewise, to the extent that subject displayed any self-esteem, she emphasized the importance of her physical attractiveness over other qualities. Further, in response to a query about others’ opinions of her, subject responded in the literal sense, evoking the possible use of her pheromones for psychological manipulation. While this is, of course, biological fact, subject’s logical jump to that response in the context of social cues is a somewhat telling glimpse into her thought process.

Subject’s worldview and outlook on the motivations of others are both remarkably pessimistic. Self-esteem is low and emotional support network is lacking. Locus of control is strongly internal. Subject displayed very little ambition or particular planning for the future.

Authority must note a perceived discrepancy between subject’s freeform responses and BFI-2 scores, with a neutralizing effect applied to the later. While intentional deception is not suspected, these scores may be skewed by factors such as disinterest, self-assessment bias, or lack of trust. In fact, subject’s otherwise moderate agreeableness score is weighed down by low trust levels. Subject also rated low-to-moderately in conscientiousness and extraversion, with low points at assertiveness and responsibility. These scores were driven instead primarily by productiveness and energy level. Subject rates moderate negative emotionality with low emotional volatility. Subject rated highly in openness to experience, driven largely by aesthetic sensitivity.

Finally, of particular note, subject ambiguously reported some level of ongoing racial bigotry towards her among her peers, but cited only speculation about what others may say or view in the privacy of their own quarters. While this is obviously concerning and authority recommends subject’s chain of command monitor this situation closely, authority believes it plausible that subject’s cynicism and internal focus on her physical characteristics have led her to incorrect or exaggerated conclusions.

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented as extraordinarily friendly and upbeat, projecting an image of a composed and well-adjusted officer. Subject’s self-identification of her anxiety and emotional struggles further reinforced this impression despite later manifestation of those symptoms during the session.

Subject’s upbringing and path to Starfleet service has been extremely contentious. As a Klingon who has chosen to eschew the warrior-tendencies of her native culture, she has experienced significant hardship and abuse at the hands of her family - apparently a House holding particularly traditional views and expectations. It is therefore unsurprising that she has developed a range of clinically significant anxieties. Subject’s recent transfer to the science division presents a good example of the core internal struggle, allowing her to pursue a career that aligns with her personal goals and values while simultaneously incurring continued “dishonor” in the eyes of her family. Intellectual understanding does little to temper the emotional and cultural negativity subject imparts upon herself as a result.

Subject is very open to the idea of counseling and has had success managing her symptoms with assistance in the past. Subject is presently in a romantic relationship with a professional psychological counselor, providing a strong foundation for her emotional support network. There is, of course, the noteworthy danger that difficulties in this relationship could result in a disproportionately severe emotional downturn, or even progress reversion.

Subject’s worldview trends ever so slightly pessimistic, though this is offset by strongly optimistic views on the motivations of others. Locus of control is balanced. Self-esteem, perhaps surprisingly, seems slightly positive on an objective underlying level. The more negative self-reported general impression from a holistic standpoint underscores the severity of the subject’s emotional and cultural trauma. Subject’s present emotional support network is robust despite past failings, and authority expects subject to rely on both personal and professional support in times of crisis.

Supporting authority’s first impression, subject rated quite highly in agreeableness, carried by strong scores of compassion and respectfulness. Subject also rated quite highly in openness to experience with significant aesthetic sensitivity and creative imagination balancing out a healthy intellectual curiosity. Subject rated moderate-to-high in conscientiousness, particularly in the area of productiveness. Authority believes this is likely linked to her relatively new career path, and serves as reinforcement of her decision to pursue the sciences. As expected, subject’s negative emotionality is sky high, with both anxiety and emotional volatility leading the way. Extraversion likewise scored expectedly low, though subject’s self-awareness of her condition and strong support network leaves the authority with the hope that she can achieve a healthy balance.

Authority recommends subject seek counseling proactively as a matter of course, and that she be referred for counseling specifically in the event of any future trauma suffered in the performance of her duties. Authority feels that medical management of anxiety symptoms would be premature at this point, but notes that it may be a prudent option in the future if psychological measures become less effective.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented as agreeable and well-adjusted, if somewhat overly career-minded. His responses seemed slightly practiced, and authority noted a tendency to provide only the information strictly requested, even when including statements without context, for which a prompt for elaboration should otherwise have been conversationally superfluous. Subject’s strong duty-focused mindset along with an upbringing rooted in Andorian cultural tradition likely informs that style of interaction and provides a basis for his overall demeanor, views, and formality. Despite this, as illustrated in part by subject’s decision to join Starfleet and his tenure in same, subject likely possesses a more outgoing personality streak that may become more prevalent over time, or as subject becomes more comfortable with his surroundings.

Subject’s worldview and outlook on the motivations of others both lean mildly optimistic. Self-esteem and emotional support network are both well-developed, though there is some measure of room for improvement. Locus of control is fairly balanced, if leaning slightly internal.

An unusually strong intellectual curiosity carried subject’s high rating in openness to experience, a trait which did not particularly resonate outwardly. This is a discordance worth noting as it is an area that could likely be nurtured by subject’s superiors to leverage job performance improvement in both objective quality and self-satisfaction. Like many career-minded officers, subject rated highly in conscientiousness, followed closely by moderate-to-high extraversion. Subject rated moderately in agreeableness, a score noteworthy for being pulled from the low-end almost exclusively by respectfulness, rather than trust or compassion. Negative emotionality was expectedly low, without any particular proclivities towards anxiety, depression, or emotional volatility.

Counseling Routine Exam. Reference report: 99621.3

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

It must first be noted that subject was ordered to attend this session by her commanding officer after refusing to attend on a voluntary basis. There is also no baseline assessment on file for the subject, so it is unclear whether her resistance to counseling is inherent or specific to these events. Despite the circumstances of the referral, the commanding officer did not specifically request a fitness for duty evaluation, so authority proceeded with a routine debriefing format rather than a formal evaluation. In any case, subject’s disinterest in counseling must be considered a factor.

Despite protestations of normality, subject’s demeanor and body language throughout indicated a heightened level of stress and anxiety related to the mission in question, especially when deliberately recalling the most disturbing details. Of note, subject repeatedly related her feelings on this mission to those of a specific past event, of which authority has no prior knowledge. While this may be an indication of prior untreated emotional trauma, it may also represent a functional healing strategy and evidence that subject is emotionally prepared to recover from an event of this nature, provided appropriate time and support.

Subject reported post-event symptoms reflecting a minor and expected downturn in sociability and self-esteem, though not rising to a level of significant concern. PTSD screened 2/8, considered low-risk given current timeframe.

Authority provided reassurance and resources specific to the incident, instructed subject to contact counseling if symptoms worsen or persist for longer than a month, and provided clearance for duty, report-pending.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject enters his field and posting with significant positions made in the purpose of his service, and the service of his purpose.

Subject has what some may call a well-thought out worldview or what others may call extensive suppositions. Regardless of the truth of the matter, both commanders and the subject would benefit from placing subject in direct flashpoints and action as experience meets outlook.

Subject’s worldview, including himself, Starfleet’s role in the galaxy, and that of the Federation and other countries was articulated considerably during the evaluation. With evaluator lacking in doubt as to the conviction of Subject’s views, the rendered recommendation is of placing subject in situations in which his zeal may be utilized to its fullest extent in service to Starfleet.

With focus upon career and service being the highlight of evaluation, subject is at present likely to pursue the career officer path. Efforts could be taken to grant subject increasing responsibility, alongside supervision by higher authorities as a means of guiding results to an amicable conclusion, in an effort to see zeal and dedication combined with experience.

Before Starfleet today is an officer willing to bring considerable dedication and devotion of time and effort into being the best that he can be.

With proficiency set aside, evaluator now looks at potential growth. Whilst subject is expected to do well in chain-of-command environments, particularly against enumerated enemies of the Federation in his position as a tactical officer, subject may experience difficulty in more team-oriented or committee-driven scenarios. Achieving consensus not by order but by word is itself a scenario commanders may wish to consider assigning subject to should they wish to see diversity of skills.

Subject has the will and time to become a dedicated senior officer, with experience, be able to achieve his goals.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject presented as professional and well-adjusted, polite and disarming, qualities likely both owing and contributing to her role as a career officer and physician. Subject has made occasional use of counseling services previously and, despite expressing a feeling of being “not the best at these kind of things”, subject was both open and forthcoming about her past experiences and feelings, giving authority the distinct impression that she would be a cooperative and willing patient if the need arose. Subject is a recent transfer to the starbase after a long string of shipboard postings, which she views as taking on a different kind of challenge. Subject is a self-described introvert, but a perfectly competent conversationalist, leaving authority with the impression that any lacking in sociability is primarily a conscious choice on the subject’s part, rather than the result of any particular lacking social skills.

Subject’s worldview and outlook on the motivations of others average neutral, with worldview leaning slightly pessimistic and motivations slightly optimistic. Self-esteem is reasonably strong, with some detractions in areas not uncommon for healthcare professionals. Locus of control is surprisingly balanced, with a mild external slant. Subject’s emotional support network has taken an expected hit from her recent transfer, but she is well-equipped to effect a recovery at her own pace.

Subject rated moderately high in openness to experience, with subscores suggesting she is likely a strong outside-the-box thinker. Subject’s agreeableness was also moderately high, pulled from the midrage by almost disproportionately high respectfulness. Though compassion rated somewhat lower than expected, authority is not terribly surprised to find this ratio in an experienced physician. Correspondingly, subject rated far more highly in conscientiousness, with a strong emphasis on organization and responsibility. Negative emotionality scores were low across the board, indicating career satisfaction and a low likelihood of burnout. Finally, subject managed a moderate extraversion score, carried primarily by energy level and despite remarkably low sociability. As noted earlier, this is easily attributable to personal preference and unlikely to be a source of stress.

PURPOSE AND CONTEXT OF EVALUATION

Basic Profile Assessment

CONCLUSION

Authority finds subject to be of sound mental health and fit for active duty.

DISCUSSION

Subject is a recently-promoted starship Captain. Despite presenting as extremely personable and well-composed, subject has endured a non-insignificant amount of personal trauma throughout his life. Though good humor and an easy-going nature seem to have carried him through his experiences without creating a detriment to his daily life, there are certain areas where his views may be colored inappropriately negatively. In particular, subject harbors extremely negative feelings towards Orions, despite an intellectual understanding of not only the fact that those feelings are unhealthy, but also of their origin. Given subject’s demeanor, authority was surprised to learn of subject’s self-reported lack of close friends and family. Subject’s troubled childhood may account for difficulty forming connections in adulthood, though subject did seem quite open to the possibility of pursuing friendships and professional relationships in the future. Though it was difficult to pinpoint during actual conversation due to subject’s positivity, upon review authority is left somewhat concerned about the potential impact of command responsibility as an additional factor in subject’s isolation.

Overall, subject’s worldview and outlook on the motivations of others are highly optimistic. Subject’s self-esteem is likewise strong, as is his ability to develop an emotional support network, perhaps paradoxically so, given his acknowledged almost total lack of such a network at present. Locus of control is, perhaps unsurprisingly, decidedly external.

Subject’s personality profile scores were remarkably moderate in all areas. Though one might initially suspect this to be a result of self-mediating assessment responses, authority believes subject’s scores to be consistent with his personality as observed subjectively. Subject’s strongest area, rated moderate-to-high was conscientiousness, followed by extraversion - a score carried by both assertiveness and sociability, lending further confidence to the assessment of subject’s potential to form social connections, if not necessarily maintain them. This combination also likely contributes to subject’s command ability. Openness to experience and agreeableness both rated only slightly above average, with relatively balanced subscores. Authority believes this, too, likely contribute to a well-rounded command officer, capable of relatively easy switching between delegation and hands-on approaches. Subject’s only outlying rating is in negative emotionality which, corresponding well to subject’s optimism and resiliency, was kept from a null value only by a small amount of emotional volatility, attributable likely to the issues discussed above.
