About This Assessment
Psychological Readiness for Management Test - Symptoms and Signs
This instrument is designed to support evaluation of an individual’s readiness to assume managerial responsibility. The Psychological Readiness for Management Test provides a structured self-report snapshot of management-oriented values, attitudes, and motivation relevant to leadership roles.
It contains 75 items and typically requires about 14 minutes to complete. As described by John P. Kotter, results are intended to inform career counseling and organizational consultation by highlighting dominant managerial orientations and areas where further development may be indicated.
Interpretation of the Psychological Readiness for Management Test is best integrated with interview data and other assessment information, as it reflects perceived readiness and motivational stance rather than demonstrated skill level or work experience.
