Leadership Test

The Leadership Test is the modern alternative to traditional assessments like Hogan, helping leaders discover their true potential. This integrated assessment identifies your leadership profile across 3 domains, providing deep insights into how you lead, communicate, and make decisions. By taking the test, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of your leadership style traits, potential risk factors, and core motivators that drive your leadership approach.

The Leadership Test presents a series of carefully designed questions and scenarios that evaluate your natural leadership tendencies. It takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, significantly less time than the 60+ minutes required for traditional leadership assessment suites. Upon completion, you'll receive immediate access to your comprehensive leadership profile that identifies your strengths, potential derailers, and what truly motivates you as a leader.

The Leadership Test measures three essential domains: Leadership Style Traits (how you perform at your best), Risk Factors (potential derailers under pressure), and Core Motivators (what drives and energizes you). Each domain provides unique insights into different aspects of your leadership approach, giving you a holistic view of your leadership profile and highlighting specific areas for development and leverage.

The Leadership Style Traits domain illuminates how you perform when operating at your best, identifying your natural leadership capabilities. It measures seven key traits: Adjustment (emotional intelligence), Ambition (drive for achievement), Sociability (interpersonal engagement), Interpersonal Sensitivity (relationship management), Prudence (conscientiousness), Inquisitive (innovation mindset), and Learning Approach (growth orientation). These traits reveal your natural leadership strengths and how you can most effectively lead teams and drive results.

The Risk Factors domain exposes potential derailers that can emerge during periods of pressure, stress, or fatigue. These include traits like Excitable (emotional volatility), Skeptical (excessive cynicism), Bold (overconfidence), Mischievous (risky behavior), and others. Understanding these risk factors enables you to develop strategies to maintain effectiveness under challenging circumstances, preventing relationship damage and leadership derailment when you're not at your best.

The Core Motivators domain uncovers the fundamental values, drivers, and interests that determine what energizes you as a leader. These include Recognition (visibility), Power (influence), Altruistic (service), Commerce (financial outcomes), Science (analytical thinking), and others. Understanding your Core Motivators helps with job alignment, creating conditions for maximum engagement, and identifying potential sources of conflict or compatibility with organizational culture and team dynamics.

Organizations leverage the Leadership Test for comprehensive leadership development initiatives including individual development planning, high-potential identification, succession planning, executive coaching, leadership training design, team effectiveness optimization, and leadership culture building. The assessment's integrated nature provides a holistic view of leadership potential, making it valuable for developing agile leadership capabilities in today's complex business environment.

The Leadership Test significantly improves team performance by helping leaders understand their natural style and how it impacts team dynamics. Teams led by assessed leaders show 45% better engagement and retention rates. When leaders align their approach with assessment insights, organizations experience a 39% average increase in team effectiveness. The test also helps identify complementary leadership styles across teams, creating balanced, high-performing groups with diverse leadership capabilities.
