WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Group Reflexivity Test

Group Reflectiveness Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

In team-based review and learning contexts, the Group Reflectiveness Scale provides a brief self-report measure of participants’ perceived readiness to step back and evaluate how the group works. Developed by Donald A. Schön and Chris Argyris, it is intended to inform structured discussion of team processes and opportunities for improvement.

The measure consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items focus on attitudes and openness toward collective reflection, including willingness to examine mistakes, consider alternative approaches, and engage in candid discussion. Results from the Group Reflectiveness Scale are commonly used as a screening snapshot to guide facilitation, coaching, or debriefing by identifying areas where additional support for reflective practice may be indicated.
