Welcome to Talent Leadership Assessments!

Thank you  for taking the Positive Thinking assessment on December 27, 2024.

1.When my boss or a customer asks to speak with me, I instinctively assume that he or she wants to discuss a problem or give me negative feedback.

7. 
2.When I experience real difficulty at work/home, I also feel negative about other parts of my life.

8. 
3.When I experience a setback, I tend to believe the obstacle will endure for the long-term, e.g. "The funding didn't come through, so I guess that means they hate the project. All that work for nothing."

9. 
4.When a team I am on is functioning poorly, I believe that the cause is short-term and has a straightforward solution. For example, "We're not working well at the moment, but if we can fix this problem, then we'll do much better!"

10. 
5.When I'm not chosen for an assignment I really want, I tend to believe that I just don't have the specific skills they are looking for right now, as opposed to thinking I am generally unskilled.

11. 
6.When something happens that I don't like or appreciate, I can tend to conclude that the cause is widespread in nature and will continue to plague me. For example, "My assistant didn't 'cc' me on that email she sent to my boss. Administrative assistants are all out to prove how much smarter they are than their supervisors."

12. 
7.When I perform very well on an assignment, I believe that it's because I'm generally talented and smart, as opposed to thinking I am good in that one very specific area.

13. 
8.When I receive a reward or recognition, I can tend to figure that luck or fate played more of a role than my actual work or skill. For example, "They asked me to be the key note speaker at the conference next year. I guess the other guys were all busy."

14. 
9.When I come up with a really good idea, I am surprised by my creativity. I figure it is my lucky day, and caution myself not to get used to the feeling.

15. 
10.When something bad happens at work, I see the contributions that everyone made to the mistake, as opposed to thinking that I am incompetent and to blame.

16. 
11.After winning an award/recognition/contract, I believe it's because I am better than the competition. For example, "We won that large contract against two strong competitors. We're simply better than they are."

17. 
12.As the leader, when my team completes a project, I tend to attribute the success to the hard work and dedication of the team members, as opposed to my skilled leadership.

18. 
13.When I make a decision that proves to be successful, it's because I have expertise on the subject and analyzed that particular problem really well, as opposed to being generally a strong decision maker.

19. 
14.When I achieve a long-term and personally challenging goal, I congratulate myself, and think about all the skills that I used in order to be successful.
