Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer (author of the must-read Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don’t) posts the following quiz on his blog. It originally appeared in the book Political Skill at Work: Impact on Work Effectiveness:
On a 7-point scale, where 1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=slightly disagree; 4=neutral (neither agree nor disagree); 5=slightly agree; 6=agree; and 7=strongly agree, answer the following questions (from pp. 23-25) of Political Skill at Work):
Add up your score (the numbers you wrote after each question) and divide by 18. You will have a score between 1 and 7. Higher scores mean you have more political skill, lower scores mean you have less. You should be above 4âand possibly well above 4âif you have aspirations to reach great heights of power.
The questions measure four dimensions of political skill, so you can also see where you are stronger and weaker.
Questions 5, 7, 16, 17, and 18 measure social astuteness;
Questions 2, 3, 4, and 12 measure interpersonal influence;
Questions 8, 13, and 14 assess your apparent sincerity;
Questions 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 15 measure your networking ability.
