Explanation

Team roles

With the team roles test you know which role someone naturally adopts in a team, so you compose teams more evenly.

The candidate completes an online questionnaire focused on team roles.

  • Team roles
  • Preferred behaviour
  • Team composition

The test gives an overview of the team roles the candidate prefers: the style they will likely adopt, sometimes adopt and likely not adopt, with a description of the possible behaviour per preference.

This test measures Team roles, Preferred behaviour, Team composition. You use it in the HR cycle: Development → performance → appraisal. Insight into which team roles someone is most likely to adopt in a team. Completion takes 15 minutes (Assign points to the most fitting statement yourself.) and you receive the results in your inbox, with no PDF to download.

Frequently asked questions

All about Team roles

What do you use the Team Roles test for?+

Mainly for composing a balanced team and for team development.

Does the test measure fixed roles?+

No, it is about preferred behaviour; someone can adopt different roles depending on the situation.

How long does an online assessment take?+

Most assessments take 15 to 45 minutes. The exact time depends on the test type and number of sections; you work at your own pace and see an indication of the duration beforehand.

In which languages can I take the test?+

Our assessments are available in Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish and Romanian. Candidates choose their preferred language at the start, so language never gets in the way of a fair measurement.

What results do I get and what does the report look like?+

After completion you receive a clear report with scores, charts and a plain explanation per dimension. The report includes concrete insights and, where relevant, recommendations for selection or development.

Are the tests scientifically validated?+

Yes. Our instruments are built on established psychological models and validated through norming studies. We support construct and criterion validity with periodically updated data.

How reliable are the results?+

The tests have high reliability coefficients (internal consistency and test-retest). This means the scores are stable and consistent and provide a solid basis for decisions.

Can I subscribe or purchase a single test?+

Both are possible. You can buy a single administration for one candidate, or choose a subscription or credit bundle for frequent use with better rates and management via your own environment.

How do you handle privacy and the GDPR?+

We process data in line with the GDPR. Data is stored encrypted, used only for the agreed purpose and not shared with third parties. Candidates have rights of access and erasure.

Who are these assessments suitable for?+

The assessments suit selection, career guidance and development, from starters to experienced professionals. Each test states the target group and level for which it is most appropriate.

Can I combine multiple tests?+

Yes, tests combine well into a complete measurement. For example, you can pair personality with abilities or drivers for a broader and more reliable picture of a candidate.

What support and certification do you offer?+

We provide support with setup and interpretation and offer certification training for professional use. Documentation and personal advice are also available for any questions.
