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 -- be honest with your responses. Answer what is true for you, not what you think is best.
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.
