Test whether you are a leader. A psychological test with recommendations for identifying a person's leadership qualities. Which of these two opinions approaches your own?

Even in the cage you can see which of the birds is the main one. Green or, for example, blue. No one dares to take away food from the main one, she chooses the best place on the perch and does not look around, as she does not expect attacks. She is a strong personality, she is a leader, with all the traits inherent in a leader. And what kind of bird are you?

Scholars debate whether some of us are born leaders or become leaders. One thing is clear: by the age of twenty, you can already determine for sure whether you are able to lead people along with you. Even if you haven't done anything special yet. The main thing is to understand the real signs of a leader. So the leader...

1 Dreams of a "quiet haven" no more than once a month. Constant calm is contraindicated for him, but in the whirlpool of events, he even improves appearance and well-being. Not to mention the internal state.

2 Since childhood, he cannot stand being taken care of.

3 But he himself necessarily takes care of someone. However, there are never too many wards. A leader is not a mother hen.

4 Rather, he feels a desire to triumph over a successful competitor with a large gathering of people, rather than strangle him in a dark corner.

10 Having made a final decision, with all his behavior he shows that it is the only correct one. And he convinces others.

11 Can perform in front of large audiences, even if he doesn't like doing it.

12 Not a conservative! That's really who is able to evaluate the craziest ideas. True, they will undertake to implement them only if they are sure of their viability.

23 He loves his work and is passionate even in what many people think is boring and boring. By the way, his excitement is contagious.

24 Knows how to present himself, suddenly blossoming in right moment and in the right place - often unexpectedly for others.

25 He does not fuss when someone next to him climbs up the career ladder with lightning speed - he knows how to bide his time.

27 Never allows others to put too much on their shoulders.

28 Not obsessed with work - he has interests outside the office (although there is little time left for them).

29 Will never work solely for the sake of a career - he can only do what he is truly interested in.

32 Likes to work with people. In fact, he loves to be around people.

33 Wants to be a leader.

    0 - 49 points- You are ready for decisive action only when you feel powerless and helpless, when you seem to be "pinned against the wall." The rest of the time, they are ready to endure not only humiliation, but even undeserved reproaches, believing that such a sacrifice will someday be noticed and appreciated. There is a risk of falling into a dependent relationship, as you look for the much-desired confidence and self-sufficiency in another person, often falling into an ordinary tyrant. Love to dream about how, thanks to some person or occasion, your life changes for the better, like in a fairy tale. Not at all daring to do something on their own, to take risks and declare themselves, their feelings and desires. But do not despair, you just have to make an effort and work on yourself, and then everything will change. You can start with the techniques described in the article.

    50 - 99 points- You are quite harmonious. You can act decisively without retreating in the face of difficulties. You are a conscious person, not a principled one, therefore, in situations requiring a quick decision, you are ready to take responsibility, and where there are people who want power more than you, you will calmly give in. What sets you apart from other leaders is that you are not driven by need and lust for power. You just know how to organize something, but you don’t claim the laurels of the only winner, especially at moments where you need to make a dishonest move. Although you are in balance, it will not hurt you sometimes to show initiative and perseverance, this will help you move even further. To maintain your desire for self-development and self-improvement, I recommend reading the article.

    100 – 150 - You are just a born leader who is sometimes even able to "go too far" in his actions. You are self-confident and believe that there is only one right answer - yours. Therefore, the desires and needs of others are often not taken into account. Why is this necessary, because they think wrong? You cope with the tasks set perfectly, your team always delivers the work on time, the result is on top and the company is rapidly moving forward. Only now you don’t notice that employees simply “fall out” and “drive” themselves to meet your requirements. You are considered a dictator, they are afraid of you and at the same time they dream of being at least a little like. I recommend reading the article in order to understand more about the advantages and disadvantages of such a tough position.

Are your main virtues harmony and decisiveness, wisdom and calculation, the ability to give wise advice? Or do you tend to act like a dictator? We offer you a test to help you find the answers to these questions.

For each answer "yes" - 10 points, "don't know" - 5 points, "no" - 0 points.

1. Even as a child, the need to obey other people was a problem for me.

2. I think that progress in science and culture is unthinkable without people with developed needs to rule over others.

3. I think that a real man knows how to subordinate women to his will.

4. To be honest, I don’t like it when they take care of someone close.

5. I agree with the statement that the true nature of a woman is humility.

6. Not everyone, perhaps, realizes that I have to take everything upon myself because of constant fears for the well-being of my relatives.

7. In my opinion, most of the problems arise from the lack of leaders with an "iron fist".

8. IN difficult situations that require a quick decision, it usually doesn't take me long to do the right thing.

9. I know that I love and I can lead other people.

10. I don’t know how and I don’t want to open up to the end to no one.

11. I enjoy dreams of a "quiet haven".

12. I think that the subordinate must be able to follow any orders of the boss.

13. It may be strange, but in relationships with people close to me, I experience internal resistance when I have to ask for something.

14. Often there are situations when someone is waiting for an explanation from me, although, in my opinion, everything is already clear.

15. It seems to me that my character is similar to the character of my father (mother), who was a support in the family.

Results:

150-100 points: Your answers paint an image of a great dictator who thinks he knows how to eat and how to be. And you can easily find an excuse for such behavior. You know how to convince and lead others, to get the job done on time. But sometimes something in the tone, look, gesture of your "subordinates" says: give me a break!

99-50 points: Harmony and determination, wisdom and calculation, the ability to give wise advice - these are your main virtues. If necessary - lead, if necessary - yield, always taking into account someone else's opinion and desire. But only you know whether you always achieve your goal with worthy means.

49-0 points: Your answers are typical for "psychological snake". You are able to swallow any reproach, even if it is not necessary, to sacrifice everything, although no one requires it. Often, feeling your own impotence, you are capable of ... a decisive act. Feeling helpless, look for the character traits you lack in others. And in this find meaning and hope for a better life for you.

    There are questions that at first glance are stereotypical (for example, the choice of music; childhood preferences regarding future profession). In my opinion, the test is dichotomous and not reliable, there are too many questions, the answers to which a person can predict and simply not know, due to the fact that he thinks from the contrary (if there is a scale of deceit, then it would probably be useful to demonstrate it along with the test results) .

    The dough is completely out of touch with reality. Starting from how to define the word "often" for example, and ending with the fact that here the emphasis is on pressure, and not the ability to ignite the minds of other people. This is more a test for a stubborn manager.

    You are a born leader.
    Who am I? What are my features? What am I strong in, what do I want to change in myself? How do I position myself?

    Leadership tests are used to identify leadership qualities and their degree of severity. Even if a person does not aspire to become a leader, systematic work on the development of leadership abilities will not be in vain, as it will increase the impact on others

    Even though I'm only 10 years old...

    WON HOW))) Leadership is poorly expressed. This means that such skills as are poorly developed: * WILL - an undoubted condition for effective leadership * ADEQUACY OF SELF-ESTIMATION - determination of one's own capabilities; planning your actions; correct construction relationships with colleagues. * IMPACT ON OTHERS * SELF-CONFIDENCE * SELF-CONTROL AND ABILITY TO KEEP EXCESSIVE EMOTIONS * CHARISMA - confidence, dynamism; setting global goals for yourself; setting realistic goals for others; the ability to forgive * CARE OF OTHERS

    Leadership is expressed to a great extent. You have such qualities as WILL, ADEQUACY OF SELF-ESTIMATION, INFLUENCE ON OTHERS, SELF-CONFIDENCE, SELF-CONTROL AND THE ABILITY TO KEEP EXCESSIVE EMOTIONS. And you also have CHARISM and CARE FOR OTHERS.
    You are a born leader.
