This instrument is designed to support early decision-making when a person is moving into a supervisory or managerial role. The Managerial Adaptation Prognostic Questionnaire provides a brief, structured self-report approach to estimating how effectively an individual may adjust to a new leadership context.
The measure consists of 32 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Items focus on behaviors and dispositions relevant to adapting to new role demands, integrating into an established team, and managing common transition-related stressors; results are intended to inform selection, onboarding planning, and the level of support that may be indicated during an initial transition period.
The Managerial Adaptation Prognostic Questionnaire is cited here in association with Edwin A. Fleishman. Interpretation should be integrated with additional clinical or organizational information (e.g., interview data and job-relevant performance indicators) rather than used as a stand-alone basis for personnel decisions.
