Leadership Style Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

business

This brief self-report measure is designed to characterize an individual’s typical leadership approach in workplace or organizational contexts. The Leadership Style Questionnaire provides a structured way to reflect on common supervisory behaviors and decision-making tendencies.

The instrument includes 14 items and takes about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents rate their usual patterns (e.g., how they direct tasks, involve others, and manage responsibility), yielding a profile that can support coaching, training, or self-reflection rather than serve as a diagnostic tool.

The Leadership Style Questionnaire is attributed to R. J. House and is typically interpreted in conjunction with other information (such as role demands, observed performance, and feedback) when used in applied settings.
