Leadership Profiling: How Useful Do You Find This Approach in Your Experience?

Please go through the attachment below and leave your comments if you find it to be useful.

The question is on Srinivasa Chaitanya's article. I have mentioned it as Kirran in the title. Sorry for that.

I would like to know the method of "Score Interpretation" in this article. For example: In the first set of questions, if you score below 27, it means you have low motivation to lead, and between 56 and 70, you have a high motivation to lead. I want to know how these values (27, 56, and 70) are taken as a standard.

Could you kindly help me.

Thanking You, Jisha.

Chaitanya, thank you very much for your profile. Our ministry in Namibia wishes to conduct a sample test on junior managers. Do we need official authorization from you since it is printed under a company's name? Please contact me at [Login to view]. I would appreciate it if we could chat about it. Thanks. Danny

Dear Chaitanya,

Thanks for posting. I will take this opportunity to inform readers that when using material found elsewhere, even if we modify the design, we should attribute the source, even for ideas, to avoid plagiarism.

For example, please see Leadership Motivation Test - Take our online test now! where Mindtools have given a note about the validity and reliability of a similar questionnaire and added the following:

".......This self-assessment was patterned after that of A. J. DuBrin in Leadership: Research Findings, Practice and Skills (2nd edition) (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1998). Pp. 10-11."
