The objective is to understand yourself as you really are – not the way, for example, you must react in your job, or others expect you to behave. Effectiveness as an individual or leader is not based on any particular personality style. It is really about how well you know yourself and others

There are five choices for each question, which is have number 1 to 5 with meaning : (1) Absolutely (2) Kinda (3) 50/50 (4) Not Really and {5) Not at All. There are no right or wrong answers – all of the population agrees with whatever choice you make.
