The
MDQ is a competency-based self-assessment that identifies
a manager's strengths and weaknesses and pinpoints areas
for development. The foundation that the MDQ is built
on is a set of 20 key competencies shown to be critical
to successful managerial performance.
The 160-item questionnaire takes approximately
35 minutes to complete and measures 20 competency dimensions
covering the following five factors:
- Managing
Change
- Planning
and Organizing
- Interpersonal
Skills
- Results
Orientation
- Leadership
Administration
and Scoring
The MDQ is easy to administer and score. The questionnaire
can be computer-administered using the TestBase software
system, or given as a pencil and paper instrument.
Interpretation
The TestBase software system produces a comprehensive
narrative report and profile chart which examines each
of the five competency factors. Guidance is provided
by both profile and narrative reports on how to develop
low and mid-range management competencies. The User's
Manual provides full interpretative details for users
of the pencil and paper version, together with validity
and reliability information. |
