What this leadership skills assessment measures

60 questions, 15 to 20 minutes, 12 leadership capabilities grouped into 4 domains.

This is a forced choice assessment. Every question makes you pick between 2 things you're probably decent at. That's deliberate. A leadership self assessment where you can rate everything an 8 tells you nothing at all. Ranking tells you what you actually reach for when you only get to reach for one.

Here's the problem. Most free leadership assessments measure confidence. This one measures priority, and priority is what your team experiences.

How your leadership skills results are read

You get all 12 capabilities ranked, your top 3 strengths and your bottom 3 development areas. Each strength comes with how to use it and what to watch for when you overuse it. Each development area comes with a system to build, plus an alternative approach for when building that skill right now isn't realistic.

The ranking is relative, not absolute. A capability at the bottom doesn't mean you're bad at it. It means you reach for it last. For a leader with a team, last and never look identical from the outside.

Read the domain pattern as well as the individual scores. 3 low scores clustered in Execution is a completely different problem from 3 low scores spread across 3 domains. The first is a system gap. The second is a bandwidth gap.

What to do with your leadership skills results

Most leaders get this backwards. They see the lowest score and start grinding on it. The higher return is almost always in the top 3, pointed at bigger work.

And a capability ranking only describes you. It says nothing about whether your team can execute while you're on vacation. That's a different question, and it's usually the more expensive one.

This free leadership skills assessment covers one of three layers. The Leadership Style Assessment scores how you lead, and the Leadership Type Assessment scores what you lead with. Take all 3 for the complete profile.

Quiz, test or assessment: which is this?

All three words describe the same thing. A leadership skills quiz, a leadership skills test and a leadership skills assessment all point at what is on this page: a set of questions that scores twelve capabilities across four leadership domains. Nothing is graded and there are no trick questions. It is a read on how you work right now, not a personality label.

How long does it take?

It takes fifteen to twenty minutes. You answer one screen at a time and you can go back and change an answer before you finish.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no payment and no trial. Answer the questions, then enter your name and email to see your Leadership Skills profile, including a ranking of 12 capabilities, your top three strengths and three development areas.
