Managerial Identity Status Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to assess how individuals conceptualize and internalize their role as a manager. The Managerial Identity Status Scale is intended to characterize current patterns of exploration and commitment related to a managerial or leadership identity. It is attributed to James E. Marcia.
The instrument consists of 6 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Results are generally used to support developmental feedback in coaching or leadership development settings by identifying whether the managerial role is being actively explored, remains unsettled, or is more clearly endorsed and integrated.
Interpretation should be made in the context of other clinical or organizational information and not used as a stand-alone basis for high-stakes decisions. The Managerial Identity Status Scale may be helpful for monitoring change over time when repeated administrations are clinically appropriate.
