The Leadership Competence Test (mCT) is now available on iP121
We are expanding the range of competency assessments on iP121. Alongside pCT, we are introducing the Leadership Competence Test (mCT) — a standalone situational assessment that supports conversations about managerial decisions and development priorities.
20 scenarios from a manager’s working life
Motivating a team, making decisions during change and handling conflict are everyday leadership challenges. mCT uses the Situational Judgement Test (SJT) approach: participants work through 20 realistic scenarios, choosing one of four proposed responses in each.
It is a separate assessment with its own questions, scoring and report. It can be used independently or alongside work with Insightful Profiler™ results and the Professional Competency Test (pCT).
Four key leadership competencies
The report organises results into four areas:
- Motivating — monitoring and encouragement.
- Strategic thinking — innovation and pioneering.
- Conflict solving — identification and confrontation.
- Change management — engagement and support.
Each competency has a separate percentage score, calculated using the test’s scoring key. Results help identify topics to explore in a conversation about a manager’s experience, responsibilities and goals.
A report that helps you plan the next steps
Once the assessment is complete, an individual online and PDF report is available. It includes a profile of the four competency scores, an explanation of the levels, an interpretation and development recommendations.
The report also includes practical development-planning worksheets. They help participants choose actions to try at work, set priorities and prepare to discuss progress.
Use mCT in your work with leaders
mCT can support development conversations with managers, coaching, training plans and programmes that prepare people for leadership roles. It gives HR practitioners, trainers and coaches structured material for discussing decision-making.
Relate results to the participant’s experience and the demands of their role. Choosing a response to a described situation is a starting point for discussion, rather than a direct observation of behaviour at work.
Explore a sample mCT report
We have made a sample report from a fictional technical assessment available to explore without logging in. View the four competency scores, interpretations, recommendations and development-planning worksheets.
The test and its reports are available in Polish and English. An organisation’s administrator assigns the assessment and report access to participants using mCT licences.
