The Leadership Style Quiz

Who this leadership quiz is for, about this quiz, what’s the best leadership style, can i have more than one leadership style.

Got a boss who clocks your every move? Or maybe you have one who’s cool, calm, and collected, leaving you to your own devices. Everyone approaches leadership in their own way or perhaps a way that they’ve been instructed to lead. Like our personality, our leadership style holds a lot of weight in the way we inspire and motivate the people who look to us for guidance. 

Researchers have put together a framework for all the styles so we can identify and understand the leaders in our lives and how their style influences the people who work for them. If you’re curious about your leadership style or that of someone you know, take this quiz.

This quiz is meant for anyone who is interested in finding out what their leadership style is and how their approach jives with their team. They might also be curious to identify the leadership style of a manager or authority figure in their life and how they can use that knowledge to better understand their behaviors.

Because not all people are the same or have the same approach to work, figuring out your or your boss's leadership style—and explaining that style—can help ease workplace tensions and create a more compassionate and empathetic workspace

This quiz is based on the four basic leadership styles: autocratic, democratic, delegative, and transformational. These leadership styles were established through research led by psychologist Kurt Lewin .

The initial three styles he encountered (authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire leadership) paved the way for more defined leadership theories into what we know today as the four basic ones above. 

In general, the transformational leadership style is known to be most effective in a business sense. Emotionally intelligent and driven, transformational leaders help their organization achieve its goals while still inspiring their team to reach their full potential.

At the same time, different situations and end goals may call for different leadership styles, and no one leadership style is better than the others.

Yes! In fact, most leaders will find that a combination of multiple leadership styles is the most influential approach. A good leader will adapt to the needs of their team members, the situation at hand, and the goals of the organization or group.

What Kind of Leader Are You Quiz for Students

Unlock your inner leader with our What Kind of Leader Are You quiz! Discover your unique leadership style and shine brighter in school and beyond.

Hey future CEOs and world-changers! Do you naturally assume the role of the leader in class projects? Do teachers ask you to help them calm the class or check assignments? Do people around you think you’re sometimes bossy? If you think you got some leadership qualities, I’ve created a quiz that’ll really help you understand a lot about your personality!

Are you ready to know more about how your style of leadership is? And by that, I don’t mean being bossy in your group or the chief of chaos (although, admit it, we all know one). No, this is about discovering your unique leadership superpower.

After having led my company for more than eight years now, I’ve come to realize that my leadership style has evolved a lot. I’ve been inspired on what to do and not to do by my previous bosses and even parents. In school and college, I wasn’t much of a leader, but since this role came with being a businesswoman that I always wanted to be, here we are! 

So whether you’re a natural leader as a student or happy to just be doing your own work on the sidelines, this quiz is for you!

7 Leadership Styles: What’s Yours?

There are 7 kinds of leadership styles, and in some books you’ll find big words to describe them, but here is the gist of it in simple terms:

• Autocratic: It’s the ‘my way or the highway’ approach; one person decides, everyone follows!
• Transformational: These leaders inspire you, pushing boundaries and making everyone aim higher!
• Laissez-Faire: Chill mode on; they trust their team, giving them freedom and power to decide.
• Democratic: Every voice counts! Let’s vote and decide together, folks.
• Transactional: It’s all about the deal – you do this, you get that in return.
• Servant: Here to serve! They put their team first, always helping, supporting, and lifting others up.
• Charismatic: With that magnetic charm, they captivate and rally everyone with sheer personality!

Personally speaking, there’s something from every style in each one of us leaders. However, one style may really stand out for you.

What Kind of Leader Are You Quiz: Find Your Leadership Style

Welcome to my “What Kind of Leader Are You?” quiz. 

Many people think leadership is all about bossing people around, or setting rules in a company. Leadership isn’t just about being the captain of a ship or telling people what to do. It’s also about understanding yourself, your strengths, and what makes you the main character of your story. It’s about realizing that you don’t need a cape to change the world.

Whether you’re someone with a flair for groundbreaking ideas or someone who inspires like a motivational speaker on turbocharge. Or maybe your superpower is planning like an event coordinator on a double espresso, or the kinda leader who smooths things over like a diplomat with an endless supply of calming tea. Get ready for my quiz that will peel back the layers of your leadership persona. 

Because guess what? You’re not just a leader; you’re a leader with pizzazz, and it’s high time you knew it! Yay!

But this quiz isn’t just about labels – it’s about celebrating your talents. Are you up for the challenge? Let’s go!
