What's inside: 16 questions

Every question below comes with the template, in this order. After you copy it, you can reword, reorder or remove any of them.

1. A project is behind and the team is arguing about why. In the first ten minutes of that meeting, what do you actually do?Cut the debate off and assign who owns what before anyone leaves. · Get people talking so the tension drops before we try to fix anything. · Ask quietly what each person needs, and protect whoever is getting steamrolled. · Pull up the plan and show exactly where the slip started.
2. You disagree with your manager's decision, in a room of eight people.Say nothing there, and raise it one-on-one afterwards. · Say so, in the room, right then. · Ask for the reasoning and the numbers before taking a position. · Make the counter-case with a joke first, so it lands lighter.
3. A new process rolls out on Monday. What is your first question?Where's the doc? I want the edge cases before Monday. · What happens to the people who liked the old way? · What's the deadline, and who's accountable? · Who's already on board, and how do we get the rest excited?
4. What does your calendar actually look like?Overbooked with people — I say yes to almost every conversation. · Blocked precisely, with prep time before anything that matters. · Deliberately loose, so I can jump at whatever matters most today. · Steady and repeatable — the same rhythms week to week.
5. A teammate hands you work that is 80% right.Quietly fix the small things rather than make it a thing. · Send line-level comments with the standard attached. · Lead with what worked, then coach the rest in conversation. · Tell them the missing 20% straight, then move on.
6. Something you owned publicly failed. It's the week after.Write the post-mortem: root cause, timeline, prevention. · Talk to everyone affected and keep the relationships intact. · Decide the fix and ship it fast. · Absorb it, keep the team steady, carry the blame myself.
7. A bet with a 50% chance of a big win.Take it — standing still costs more. · Not until I've modeled what happens when it fails. · Take it if I can get people fired up about it. · Only after I've protected the team from the downside.
8. In a meeting where nobody is talking, what do you notice first?The flat energy — I'll get someone laughing. · Who looks uncomfortable — I'll draw them in. · That the question was vague — I'll restate it. · That we're wasting time — I'll force a decision.
9. How do you want feedback about yourself?Written, specific, with examples I can check. · Blunt, one sentence, no cushion. · Private, gentle, with time to think it over. · In conversation, warm, with room to react.
10. Two peers are in a real conflict and both come to you.Listen to each separately and find the compromise nobody loses. · Reframe it as a misunderstanding and rebuild the goodwill. · Get them in one room and make the call. · Separate fact from interpretation, then set a rule so it can't recur.
11. Under real pressure, what do colleagues notice first about you?I get short and directive. · I withdraw into the detail and re-check everything. · I talk more, and faster. · I go quiet and absorb it.
12. A year from now, you'd be proud if:People say working here changed something for them. · What we built still runs with no surprises. · The team is still together and nobody burned out. · We hit a number nobody thought we'd hit.
13. Which of these is closest to your role?I lead this team · I'm a member of it · I'm an external coach or consultant assessing a client · I'm in HR, L&D or people ops
14. How many people are in the team you had in mind while answering?Just me for now · 2–5 · 6–15 · 16–50 · More than 50
15. Team or company name (optional)
16. If you could change one thing about how your team works together, what would it be?

What it measures

Answers are scored across 4 dimensions. Each respondent gets a score for every one, shown side by side on a radar chart.

• D · Drive

  Drive shows up as speed. You decide on 70% of the information, you say the uncomfortable thing first, and you would rather correct course than wait. Teams led by high Drive move fast and rarely drift.

• I · Influence

  Influence moves people rather than plans. You build momentum in a room, you can get a skeptical group to try something, and you keep energy up when the work is dull.

• S · Steadiness

  Steadiness keeps the team upright. You notice who is struggling, you absorb the shocks, and people bring you things they would not tell anyone else.

• C · Conscientiousness

  Conscientiousness raises the standard. You catch what others miss, your work holds up under scrutiny, and you would rather be right on Friday than fast on Tuesday.

Result levels

The total score places each respondent in one of 3 levels, each with its own message on the result page.

• Clear signature style

  Score below 40

  Your answers land firmly in one style. That is an advantage: people know what to expect from you, and you are fast in your own gear. It also means the situations that call for a different gear are the ones you will find most expensive.

• Two-style blend

  Score 40–44

  Your instincts sit between two styles — most of your answers carried a primary style with a second one alongside it. In practice you switch gears depending on the situation, which is why colleagues often describe you differently from one…

• Wide behavioral range

  Score 44+

  You picked blended behaviors nearly every time — you read the room and adjust. That is real range, and it is what teams want in a lead or a coach.

How scoring works

There are no wrong answers: every option carries its own points. The points add up to an overall score — and, where the template defines dimensions, to a score for each one — so respondents get a personal breakdown instead of a pass or fail.
