CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It assesses leadership-related competencies across common skill areas such as communication, motivation, decision-making, and team management. Results indicate relative strengths and areas for skill development.

How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 4 minutes. The questionnaire includes 18 items.

How should responses be selected?

Select the option that best reflects typical behavior rather than an unusual situation. Use the same reference period and standard across all items.

How should results be interpreted?

Scores are descriptive and intended to guide reflection on skill areas, not to provide a diagnosis or a pass/fail decision. Lower-rated areas can be used to set specific development goals.

Can the questionnaire be used in group settings?

It can be used for individual self-assessment or as a structured prompt for discussion in training or workgroups. Group use is most effective when participants compare patterns of strengths and prioritize shared development targets.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Leadership Skills Checklist Test

leadership

This checklist is a brief self-report measure designed to support reflection on leadership-related competencies. The Leadership Skills Checklist provides a structured way to rate perceived strengths and areas for development across common leadership skill domains.

It consists of 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are intended to help identify specific skill targets that may inform goal setting, coaching conversations, or skills-focused training.

The Leadership Skills Checklist (Bruce J. Avolio) is most appropriate as a screening and self-assessment tool rather than a diagnostic instrument, and results should be interpreted in context with other information (e.g., role demands, performance feedback, and observational data).
