Summary/Abstract: Through the awareness of one's own strengths and abilities, a person is able to understand his or her uniqueness. Through a questionnaire devoted to the competencies of pre-primary education teachers, we surveyed by means of a qualitative method. A set of 217 respondents answered questions expressing the characterization of the teacher's personality, self-reflection. The aim was to find out which competences pre-primary teachers would change or improve, i.e. how they perceive themselves in their profession. First of all, the questionnaire asked which competences teachers consider to be essential, and then we paid attention to teachers' comprehensive view of their personality, which we divided into four competence categories, namely, disciplinary and pedagogical, social and communicative, diagnostic and intervention or emotional competences.
