1 Choose appropriate assessments

When selecting a leadership assessment, it is important to consider the theoretical framework and evidence base, the relevance and applicability, and the format and administration. For example, is the assessment based on a sound and current model of leadership? Does it have strong psychometric properties? Does it measure the skills, behaviors, and traits that are important for your current or desired role? Additionally, you should consider how long it takes to complete, how easy it is to access and use, and how clear and comprehensive the instructions and feedback are. With this in mind, there are many types of assessments to choose from such as personality tests, situational judgment tests, 360-degree feedback, and simulations. Each one has its own purpose, scope, and limitations.

It is key to remember that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to assessments as well. It is essential to recognize the diverse needs of individuals by understanding that leaders come in various styles, each uniquely valuable. Opt for assessments that offer a spectrum of options, catering to different preferences and strengths. Whether it's personality tests, situational judgment evaluations, 360-degree feedback, or simulations, ensure your toolkit reflects the kaleidoscope of leadership qualities and the way people best can reflect authentically. Embracing diversity in assessments ensures a personalized and accurate roadmap for career growth ??

2 Prepare yourself or your clients

The second step in taking an assessment is to prepare yourself or your clients for it. This can help reduce anxiety, bias, and errors that could affect the results. Before taking the assessment, review its purpose and objectives. Familiarize yourself with the format and content of the assessment, and create a conducive environment and time for taking it. Additionally, be sure to follow the instructions and guidelines of the assessment. Doing so will help ensure accuracy and precision when answering questions or performing tasks, as well as reporting or recording responses.

3 Interpret the results carefully

Interpreting the results of an assessment carefully is the third step, helping you to understand your strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. After taking an assessment, review the feedback and reports to identify the main findings and implications of the results. Compare these to your expectations and self-perception. Additionally, seek additional perspectives and information to determine how the results align with other sources of feedback. Consider how they relate to the requirements and expectations of your current or desired role. Finally, apply the results to your career development plan. Leverage your strengths and address your weaknesses to identify your career aspirations, options, and strategies.

Use a combination of different tools and methods that measure various aspects of leadership, such as personality, skills, cognitive abilities, and behavioral style. Choosing assessment tools and methods that have been tested and proven to measure what they claim to measure, and that are consistent and stable over time and across situations to ensure reliability and validity. Also, assessment tools and methods should match the purpose and context of your career counseling, and are suitable for the population and culture of your clients. Follow the guidelines and standards for administering and scoring the assessment tools and methods, and use professional judgment and ethical principles when interpreting and communicating the results.

4 Seek professional guidance

The fourth step in your career development is to seek professional guidance from a career counselor or coach. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced professional, and it is helpful to inquire about their credentials, background, and approach. You should also share your assessment results and career goals with them in order to gain deeper insights and feedback. Collaborating with the counselor or coach will allow you to create and implement a career action plan that can help explore your options, opportunities, and challenges. It can also help monitor and evaluate progress and outcomes.
