Small Group Role Structure Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

team role disc model arrange

This brief questionnaire is designed to describe how individuals typically function within collaborative task-focused settings. The Small Group Role Structure Assessment provides a structured snapshot of role-related behavioral tendencies that may influence coordination, decision-making, and follow-through in small groups.

The measure includes 12 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents select options that best reflect their usual behavior in a group context; results are intended to support discussion of team role distribution rather than to serve as a comprehensive personality evaluation.

Interpretation focuses on identifying predominant and less-preferred roles to clarify responsibilities, anticipate interaction patterns, and inform practical planning for teamwork. The Small Group Role Structure Assessment is attributed to R. F. Bales and J. L. Moreno.
