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.

Your risk profile shapes every career decision you make -- what you pursue, what you avoid, and what you do when certainty is not available. This assessment gives you an accurate map.
Answer based on how you actually behave at work, not how you believe a high-performing professional should behave. Honest responses produce useful reports. The goal is not a flattering score -- it is an accurate one.
