How your result is calculated

Each of four dimensions has four statements rated from 0 to 4, for a score out of 16. Dimensions are independent: enjoying collaboration does not prevent you from also enjoying deep independent work. These scores describe preferences, not proven skills.

FAQ

Questions you might have

Does this measure my strengths?

It records how you describe your working preferences. Demonstrated skills require evidence from tasks, projects, and feedback. A preferred work style is not proof of ability.

Is this a learning styles test?

No. It does not assign visual, auditory, or other learning types, and it does not prescribe a teaching method. It suggests work conditions to experiment with.

Can I score highly on every dimension?

Yes. The dimensions are independent. Use specific situations to work out which condition is helpful for a particular task.
