Group Leadership Styles

Just as each person has a unique background and personality, everyone has a different leadership style. This personality quiz will tell you what your leadership style is according to something called the Leadership Compass.

Similar to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Personality Compass was developed by Diane Turner and Thelma Greco after deciding that human character can be divided into four distinct types – North, South, East and West. You can work out YOUR personality type from the questionnaire below, and discover the key to your own needs, likes, dislikes and behavior. You can even learn how to get along better with other people by understanding their nature as well.
