Management Development Questionnaire (MDQ)

The MDQ series consists of three instruments: MDQn, MDQi and MDQ360.
MDQn is a normative instrument with 20 competency scales and an impression management scale. It has 168 statements which respondents rate on a 5 point scale
ranging from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree.
MDQi measures the same 20 dimensions of management competency as MDQn but in a semi-ipsative format based on the approach developed by the Management
Research Group (Sawyer and Kabacoff, 1997). Test takers are presented with two competency statements. First, they have to decide which competency they perform more
effectively and to indicate whether that competency is a either a high or low priority for development. Second, they have to indicate whether the competency they perform less
effectively is also an area for development. There are 80 pairs of statements.
