WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Leadership Ability Assessment Test

business leadership

This instrument is designed to support a brief appraisal of leadership-related personal resources and self-perceived tendencies. The Leadership Ability Assessment is typically used to summarize perceived strengths and areas for development relevant to taking on leadership roles.

It is a self-report questionnaire consisting of 50 items and typically takes about 10 minutes to complete. Items generally address qualities commonly associated with leadership potential (e.g., initiative, confidence, influence), and results are intended to inform screening or developmental discussions rather than to serve as a direct measure of job performance. The Leadership Ability Assessment is attributed to Bernard M. Bass and Ralph M. Stogdill.
