Being a leader is an important skill that can make life much easier for its owner, and in leadership positions one cannot do without this quality. Therefore, when applying for top positions, application forms contain questions to identify leadership qualities; some companies use psychological tests for this purpose. But even if you are not applying for leadership positions, developing leadership skills will not hurt. A test to determine leadership qualities will help identify the front of the upcoming work.

Leadership Test

This technique is aimed at identifying a person’s leadership qualities and includes 50 questions to which you only need to answer “yes” or “no.”

Are you often in the spotlight?
How many of the people around you have a higher official position than you?

As a child, did you like to lead your friends' games?
Does it give you great satisfaction when you convince your opponent?
Did they call you?
Do you think that we owe the most useful things in the world to only a small group of outstanding people?
Do you need an advisor to guide your professional activities?
Have you ever lost your cool when interacting with people?
Do you like feeling that those around you are afraid of you?
Do you always try to take center stage at the table in order to control the situation?
Do you think you make an impressive impression on people?

If an event you organized fails, would you be happy to blame someone else?
Do you think that a real leader, first of all, should be able to carry out the work he is leading and participate in it?

As a child, did you often feel overbearing from your father?
In discussions on a professional topic, do you know how to win over those who disagree with you?
Imagine that you lost your way while walking with friends in the forest. Will you leave it to the most competent person among you to make a decision?

Do you always try to appreciate and understand people?
Do you respect?
Would you prefer to have a leader who decides everything himself, without listening to anyone's opinion?
Do you think that for the institution in which you work, a collegial leadership style is better than an authoritarian one?
Do you often feel that others are taking advantage of you?
Are you more suited to the characteristic “Loud voice, expressive gestures, won’t go out of your way for words” than “Calm, quiet voice, restrained, leisurely, thoughtful”?
If at a meeting they don’t agree with your opinion, but it seems to you the only correct one, would you prefer to remain silent?
Do you subordinate the behavior of other people and your interests to the work you are doing?
Do you feel anxious if you are entrusted with a responsible and important task?
Would you rather work under a good person than work independently?
Do you agree that for a successful family life, the decision should be made by one of the spouses?
Have you bought anything based on the beliefs of other people, and not out of your own need?
Do you think your organizational skills are above average?
Do difficulties usually discourage you?
Do you harshly rebuke people who deserve it?
Do you think your nervous system can withstand the stresses of life?
If you need to reorganize your institution, will you implement the changes immediately?
Will you be able to interrupt an overly chatty interlocutor if necessary?
Do you agree that to be happy you need to live quietly?
Do you believe that every person is obliged to do something outstanding?
Would you rather become an artist (composer, scientist, poet) than a team leader?
Do you prefer to listen to powerful and solemn music rather than lyrical and quiet music?
Do you feel nervous about an important meeting?
Do you often meet people with a stronger will than you?

Once the leadership test has been completed, it is time to start scoring. Give yourself one point for positive answers to questions numbered: 1-2, 4, 5, 7, 10-12, 15, 20, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 31-34, 37, 39, 41 -43, 46, 48. Also give one point to the answers “no” to questions: 3, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16-19, 22, 25, 27, 29, 30, 35, 36, 38, 40, 44, 56, 47, 49, 50. Do not award points for answers that do not match. Calculate your total points and see how your leadership skills are assessed.

Less than 25 points: leadership qualities are weak and should be developed.
From 25 to 35 points: leadership skills are moderately developed, this level is sufficient for middle managers.
From 36 to 40 points: leadership qualities are well developed, you are an ideal top manager.
More than 40 points: you are an undoubted leader, prone to dictatorship. Perhaps it's time to change something.

If the diagnosis of leadership qualities has shown their lack, do not be upset; if desired, they can be developed.

Interpretation of test results

less than 25, then the qualities of a leader are weakly expressed.
. If the sum of points is within from 26 to 35, then the leader’s qualities are expressed averagely.
. If the sum of points turns out to be from 36 to 40, then leadership qualities are strongly expressed.

The richest man in the United States, Huntington Hartford, once said that millionaires are not those people who get along well with their boss and do everything he says. Such people can only become highly paid employees. Along with Hartford, millionaire Paul Getty believes that no one on the planet will earn much if they work for someone else. When you need financial success in life, you should personally lead the business. What about you? Can you say that you see yourself in the ranks of managers in a couple of years, and firmly answer that “I can and will do!”?

Test “I am a leader!”

People think being a leader is a birthright, but that's not true. You can become such a person, the main thing is to develop the necessary qualities every day. And in six months you will be unrecognizable. In the meantime, you can check for yourself whether you have leadership potential by taking the tests with the answers below.

Team Leadership Test

A bad soldier is one who does not try to rise to the rank of general. This means that even with low test scores, it is clear that there is room for improvement. It is clear that some people have highly developed leadership qualities, while others have not used them at all. And it is not a fact that people whose leadership potential is poorly developed will be bad leaders in the future.

Do you have a lot of intellectual potential, do people listen to you, do many follow you? Then you are definitely a born leader. Do you doubt this? Then the leadership test will prove otherwise. It will show what you are strong in, what useful qualities and features you have, and how exactly you position yourself. Questioning will allow you to increase your personal influence on people.

Being a leader is not easy, but for such a person all roads in life are open. And he reaches leadership positions effortlessly. That is why, when hiring, companies check the creative, intellectual and leadership potential of the future employee. Do you have these qualities? Check it out for yourself.

Who are you? Leader or subordinate? Or maybe you are at a crossroads in your soul and don’t know what you’re worth? Take this questionnaire to find out if you have the makings of a leader within you. Can you become an organizer and lead the team? And if this is not the case, then what needs to be done to achieve this. Detailed answers will help you get to the bottom of the truth.

The leadership test will help you determine your level of internal energy, your ability to make independent decisions, and your ability to influence others. Perhaps you still have to work on yourself to demonstrate leadership abilities.

Tests for managers will give you the opportunity to see whether you have the makings of a leader in your character, the ability to lead others, or whether you prefer that someone else take responsibility for choosing a successful strategy of action.

The team leadership test will clearly show your personal and leadership qualities and communication skills. You will be able to determine what behavioral characteristics you lack in order to feel confident in any company.

The intellectual potential test will allow you to objectively assess your level of intelligence, professional qualities and the level of their implementation. Perhaps you should pay more attention to systematizing the knowledge you have acquired and direct all your efforts to developing hidden potential.

The Which Leader Are You Test will help you look at yourself from the outside and objectively assess your qualities as a leader. Perhaps, for the successful development of the company, you should slightly change your attitude towards your subordinates or towards the organization of work.

The creativity test will help you discover all your hidden abilities. Now you can properly direct your energy to achieve new goals and achieve success in new areas of life.

The Manager or subordinate test will tell you which type of employee your professional and personal qualities best suit. It's up to you to decide whether to accept the result or change something in your behavior to achieve career growth.

The ranking potential test will tell you your ability and readiness to take the top position. It may be worth paying attention to some features of your behavior in order to quickly achieve your desired place in the hierarchy.

Evaluation of results and conclusions

In accordance with the following key, the amount of points received by the subject is determined.

Key: 1a, 2a, 3b, 4a, 5a, 6b, 7a, 8b, 9b, 10a, 11a, 12a, 13b, 14b, 15a, 16b, 17b, 18b, 19b, 20a, 21a, 22b, 23a, 24a, 25b , 26a, 27b, 28a, 29b, 30b, 31a, 32a, 33a, 34a, 35b, 36b, 37a, 38b, 39a, 40b, 41a, 42a, 43a, 44b, 45b, 46a, 47b, 48a, 49b, 50b .

For each answer that matches the key answer, the subject receives 1 point, otherwise - 0 points.

If the sum of points turns out to be

up to 25 points, then the qualities of a leader are weakly expressed.

from 26 to 35, then the leader’s qualities are expressed averagely.

from 36 to 40, then leadership qualities are strongly expressed.

over 40, then this person, as a leader, is prone to dictatorship.

Leadership tests are used to identify leadership qualities and the degree of their expression. For test takers who have fairly low test scores, it is advisable to think about their individual qualities, determine ways to develop leadership abilities and use appropriate exercises and training. Even if you do not aspire to become a leader, systematic work on developing leadership abilities will not be in vain, as it will increase your influence on others.
