    Scoring Interpretation

    The scores you received on the LTQ provide information about how you see yourself and how others see
    you as leader. The chart allows you to see where your perceptions are the same as those of others and
    where they differ.

    The example ratings show how the leader self-rated higher than the observers did on the characteristic
    articulate. On the second characteristic, perceptive, the leader self-rated substantially higher than others.
    On the self- confident characteristic, the leader self-rated quite close to others’ ratings but lower. There
    are no best ratings on this questionnaire. The purpose of the instrument is to give you a way to assess our
    strengths and weaknesses and to evaluate areas where your perceptions are congruent with those of
    others and where there are discrepancies.
