Leadership Style Assessment

Your results indicate that your leadership style is predominately: Participative Leadership. Participative leaders accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made. Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. This style of leadership often leads to more effective and accurate decisions, since no leader can be an expert in all areas. Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise creates a more complete basis for decision-making (Wagner, K. V., 2010).

Management Skills and Style Assessment



To ensure an organization's success, it is essential for the capabilities of managers to be well-matched to that of their job description. Armed with the information from this test, you can become familiar with the areas that would require attention and careful consideration should you find yourself in a management position. Executive Skills (72/100) consist of the items relevant to running a competitive business and performing the actual job functions in an effective manner. It is very important for the person in charge to be productive, make excellent decisions, and be able to help subordinates when they are in need of assistance. There is no better predictor of performance in a variety of areas than intelligence which is one of the scales included in this factor. In addition, managers must be disciplined, and be able to manage their time in the face of countless distractions. Finally, in order to compete with other organizations or simply to help their department perform at the top of their game, managers must be innovative and possess a strong vision of the long-term goals and overall organizational philosophy.

Management Skills and Style Assessment



You appear have good potential in this area. People who score in this range tend to be fairly innovative and intelligent, and are usually able to accomplish a great deal. They rarely lose track of time, and do their best to keep themselves organized and achieving as much as possible. In addition, they tend to have creative minds and refuse to accept the status quo, frequently coming up with new ideas, taking chances on the unknown, and pursuing a vision that is uniquely their own. Managers who possess these qualities are better equipped to run large departments and more suited to the business world than those who are grounded in the past, who lack discipline or intelligence, or who are afraid to take chances and do something different (Queendom, 2008)

Personality Test
Your 4 Personality Type Letters (Personality Pathways, 2009) and results are below.

As an INTJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things rationally and logically. INTJs live in the world of ideas and strategic planning. They value intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically have high standards in these regards, which they continuously strive to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, they have similar expectations of others. With Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities. Their mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it. They are tremendously insightful and usually are very quick to understand new ideas. However, their primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. Unlike the INTP, they do not follow an idea as far as they possibly can, seeking only to understand it fully. INTJs are driven to come to conclusions about ideas (BSM Consulting, 2009).

Time Management Assessment

 Efficiency

score 64/100: Time management is a very useful skill to have, especially in this busy world we live in. Even if we do have 24 hours in a day, sometimes it just feels like thats not enough. However, the key to managing time better is not to work faster its to work smarter. We wouldnt need extra hours in the day if we learned how to use the time we do have much more efficiently. Research has shown that better time management can significantly reduce stress, especially at work.  According to your results, you work in a fairly efficient manner. You havent yet reached the optimum level of productivity, but its definitely within your reach. In other words, there may be the rare occasion when you end up having to rush to get things done at the last minute. However, it appears as though there are quite a few time-saving techniques in your repertoire. Adding a few more strategies to can be very helpful on days when you have a many things to get done (Queendom, 2008).

Lifelong Learning Assessment

Actual Score 5 9 scale you have a moderate preference for one dimension of the scale and will learn more easily in a teaching environment which favors that dimension. You have a very strong preference for one dimension of the scale. You may have real difficulty learning in an environment which does not support that preference (Dr. Felder, R., 2009).
