WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Team Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

team climate

arrange

This brief self-report tool is designed to support a structured discussion of team functioning. Team Assessment is based on Patrick M. Lencioni’s five dysfunctions framework and is intended as a quick screening of commonly reported barriers to effective collaboration.

The measure includes 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Items prompt respondents to rate perceptions of trust, openness to constructive conflict, commitment, accountability, and attention to collective results. Scores are generally interpreted at the team level to identify relative areas of strength and vulnerability.

Team Assessment is best used as an initial needs-assessment to guide facilitated feedback, goal setting, and follow-up interventions, rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
