Best for

Team Health Check — Standard is most useful when you want to:

  • Understand your profile across 5 dimensions rather than being assigned a single type.
  • Reflect on your tendencies — for self-awareness, not diagnosis.
  • Compare your results with research findings in this area.

It is not designed to tell you who you "really are," to predict your future, or to replace professional advice.

What it measures

Absence of Trust is one of 5 dimensions measured by this assessment. Each dimension is a spectrum — you can be high, low, or anywhere in between.

Absence of Trust

Reluctance to be vulnerable — hiding weaknesses and avoiding admission of mistakes.

Fear of Conflict

Avoidance of healthy debate — artificial harmony over productive disagreement.

Lack of Commitment

Ambiguity about direction — people may agree but not genuinely commit.

Avoidance of Accountability

Hesitation to hold peers accountable — standards slip without peer feedback.

Inattention to Results

Focus on individual status over team outcomes — ego over shared success.
