Welcome to the Clarity Quiz!
Lack of clarity collectively costs companies, educational institutions, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations billions of dollars per year and prevents leaders and team members from being able to contribute their best.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Operating with clarity leads to better decisions, higher quality work, less stress, and better overall performance—both for the organization as a whole, and for the individual leaders and team members within it.
This quiz assesses the degree to which you personally pursue clarity at work, and your perception of your organization’s clarity in five areas: Purpose, Priorities, Processes, Performance, and Problem Solving.
You’ll rate 45 statements from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Most people complete the quiz in 10 minutes. For the best results, read all of the statements thoroughly and then answer quickly to avoid second-guessing your responses.
You’ll receive immediate feedback in the form of seven scores and suggestions for how to raise your score in each area. The seven scores cover:
- The overall degree of clarity with which your organization operates
- The degree of organizational clarity in each of the 5 Ps listed above
- The degree of clarity with which you personally operate
As you take the quiz, please define "organization" based on your role and the size of the organization. For example, if you work for a small business or are a senior leader, you may be able to assess clarity across the entire company. If you work for a larger organization or you're closer to the frontlines, you may only have experience with and insights into a work team or department. In this case, the "organization" is your department.
One final note: this quiz is a perception inventory. Your results provide a directional baseline to help you and your organization shine a light on those areas in greatest need of improvement, and a few options for taking action that will result in greater organizational and personal clarity. If you don't have the authority to define organization-wide direction, consider sharing your Clarity Quiz results with your leadership team.
