WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Communicative and Organizational Inclinations, COI Test

Communicative and Organizational Inclinations Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

communicativeness leadership

This self-report measure is used to screen interpersonal comfort and practical leadership tendencies in adolescents. The Communicative and Organizational Inclinations Questionnaire is intended to provide a brief profile of communicative ease (e.g., initiating and maintaining social contact) and inclination toward organizing others and tasks.

The instrument includes 40 items and typically requires about 8 minutes to complete. Content is commonly applied in educational and vocational guidance contexts to support discussion of social engagement, teamwork preferences, and readiness to assume coordinating roles; it may also inform areas for skill development. Original authorship is attributed to Robert L. Katz and Daniel Goleman.

Scores from the Communicative and Organizational Inclinations Questionnaire are generally interpreted as indicative of relative strengths and preferences rather than diagnostic findings, and should be integrated with clinical interview data and other assessment information as appropriate.
