WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Questionnaire for Determining Follower Type Test

Follower Type Questionnaire Test

leadership

This measure is used to characterize how individuals typically enact the follower role in relation to a leader and group processes. The Follower Type Questionnaire is intended to provide a brief snapshot of followership style, with emphasis on independent thinking and level of active engagement.

The instrument includes 20 items and is typically completed in about 4 minutes. It is commonly used in organizational and team-development contexts to support discussion of role-related behavior rather than broad personality traits. Robert G. Lord and Mary Uhl-Bien are cited in association with the measure. In practice, the Follower Type Questionnaire can help clarify patterns of participation and autonomy that may inform leadership coaching, team training, and communication planning.
