LEVEL B · RESEARCH-ADAPTED MEASURE

Leadership Tendencies Test

The item set or construct comes from published research or a public-domain measurement program, but this product form may be shortened, combined, translated, or presented differently from the source administration.

CONSTRUCT

What it measures

A 20-item leadership-focused profile combining five public-domain IPIP-VIA-R short scales: Leadership, Teamwork, Fairness, Social Intelligence, and Prudence.

FORMAT

What you complete

20 scored items across 5 displayed dimensions

SCORING

How the score is made

Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.

RELIABILITY

Consistency evidence

No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.

VALIDITY

What the evidence supports

The item set or construct comes from published research or a public-domain measurement program, but this product form may be shortened, combined, translated, or presented differently from the source administration. Inward Atlas has not independently established criterion, predictive, or cross-cultural validity for this implementation.

NORMS

How values should be read

No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.

Source and implementation record

Inward Atlas preserves the source four-item wording and key directions for five IPIP-VIA-R short scales, but selects and recombines them into a leadership-focused product. This new combination is not itself a separately validated leadership inventory.

Limitations shown with the assessment

  • This Level B profile combines established public-domain short scales but is not a separately validated leadership-selection or management-performance test.
  • The five dimensions are intentionally kept separate; Inward Atlas does not compute a universal leadership-quality score.
  • Four-item scales are useful for compact self-reflection but should not be over-interpreted as highly precise rank differences.
  • Do not use this result as the sole basis for hiring, promotion, compensation, discipline, or other high-stakes employment decisions.

Implementation notes

  • Each selected short scale contains two direct-keyed and two reverse-keyed items.
  • The product is Level B because Inward Atlas combines five source strengths for a leadership-specific use case rather than administering the complete IPIP-VIA-R inventory.
