Technical Assessment - not what I expected

So I just took the Technical Assessment and the results are a revelation! Turns out my weaknesses are not what I thought they were:

"Architecture" - I thought I had a great handle on system design, turns out I don't know what I'm talking about so well!
"Software Lifecycle" - I believed I was totally comfortable with this domain, turns out it's a big blind spot
"Thinking Fullstack" - I'm very into the whole "full stack"/ "delivering end-to-end" idea, but looks like I have some work to do

And my strengths:

"UI" - it's not my strongest interest, but I guess I put in the hours over the years?
"Algorithms" - total surprise! Never believed I knew my way around algos and data structures

The only thing that makes sense here is I've always been passionate about Code Quality - phew!

So if you haven't taken the Assessment, I highly recommend it - you might get a surprise too!

BTW, anyone got any tips on how to get better at those first three?
