Mastery is defined as what?

• A. You see it be done and you can do it yourself.
• B. People are there to support you without telling you.
• C. Being told by others you can do it.
• D. You've accomplished the skill to be successful

Answer: (D)

Mastery means you have internalized a skill to perform it successfully and independently. The best choice describes that you’ve accomplished the skill to be successful, demonstrating the ability to apply it properly, safely, and consistently without needing guidance. Mastery goes beyond just seeing a skill done and then doing it yourself; it requires reliable, independent execution. Relying on others for support without instruction or needing to be told you can do it reflects external validation or assistance, not proven, autonomous performance.
