The Assertiveness Scale

Assertiveness and Self-Advocacy Assessment

Assertiveness is the ability to express your thoughts, needs, and boundaries directly and confidently -- without aggression and without passivity. It is one of the most consistently under-developed professional skills. This assessment measures five specific dimensions of assertiveness and tells you exactly where your self-advocacy is strong and where it is costing you.

This assessment is a professional development tool. Please read and confirm each statement before proceeding.

This is an assessment, not a test. There is no right or wrong answer, no pass or fail -- be honest with your responses. Do not answer what you think is best or correct; answer the truth for you as you know it.

I understand that this assessment captures tendencies and patterns -- not fixed limitations. These results reflect where I am today, not who I am permanently.

I will use these results for professional strategy and development -- not as confirmation of grievances or as evidence in workplace disputes.

I understand this assessment is part of the DKA Toolkit framework and is designed to be used alongside Duane K. Andrews' course content and the 17 Keys.
