Communication Style Statistics: Leader Benchmark
This benchmark publishes once at least 30 leaders have completed the quiz in the current window. Until then the count is shown as below the reporting floor and no figures are published.
Once a cut reaches 30 completions, this page shows how leaders who took the quiz on this site communicate: the distribution of style as four percentages, the mean Clarity score and the share in each Clarity band, and the most common lowest dimension, which is the gap distribution and the quotable line (the share of leaders who have Inquiry as their weakest mode).
Cuts by role level, region, device class and referrer type each have their own floor. The n and the field window are shown in the current edition block, every change is dated in the log below, and the method is on the methodology page.
Current edition
Fewer than 30 leaders have completed this cut. We publish nothing below 30. The overall distribution appears once the whole instrument passes the floor. Next refresh: 2026-10-12.
Collection started on 2026-09-22. This page is rewritten when a refresh runs; the change log below carries every edition.
What this page will report
So that no cut is chosen after seeing the data, here is what is published when n reaches 30, and nothing else:
- Type distribution
- Mean and median score
- Clarity band distribution
- Most common gap
- Role level
- Region
- Device class
- Referrer type
The floor rule
No cut is published with fewer than 30 completions. Where a cut falls below the floor, the chapter is published with the count and no figures. The floor is set before the edition and never lowered. Completions are counted, not people: the capture is anonymous and cookieless, so a returning visitor is not identifiable and is not de-duplicated. Ad blockers drop some events, so every count is a floor. The full rules are on the methodology page.
