WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Analyzing Your Limitations Test

Self-Limitation Analysis Test - Symptoms and Signs

This measure is designed to help individuals identify perceived personal barriers that may interfere with effective leadership and management behavior. Self-Limitation Analysis is typically used in professional development contexts to clarify areas of relative strength and areas for targeted growth.

The questionnaire consists of 110 items and takes about 21 minutes to complete. Items are presented as statements reflecting common workplace or supervisory situations and potential self-limiting tendencies, with responses used to summarize patterns that may warrant further reflection or skills-focused planning.

Self-Limitation Analysis was originally described by Mike Woodcock and Dave Francis (1982) and is intended to support structured feedback discussions and goal setting rather than to serve as a standalone diagnostic instrument.
