WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Gallup Q12 Engagement Survey Test

Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey (Q12) Test

Employee engagement is commonly assessed with brief, standardized surveys. The Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey (Q12) is designed to capture employees’ perceptions of key workplace conditions related to engagement.

The measure contains 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are presented as statements for respondents to rate, supporting aggregation at the team or organizational level and informing discussion of strengths and potential areas for improvement. Development is often attributed to Harter, J.

In applied settings, the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey (Q12) is used as a screening-level indicator rather than a diagnostic assessment of individual psychological functioning. Results should be interpreted in the context of organizational culture, role expectations, and other sources of information.
