Section 2:

In the next six questions, you will see four statements (labeled A, B, C, and D) describing organizational culture elements. For each question, please:

The more a statement resembles your organization, the more points you should assign to it.

You can assign any number of points to each option, as long as the total adds up to exactly 100.


Example:

If you feel that statement A is very similar to your organization, B and C are somewhat similar, and D is not similar at all, you might assign the points like this:

There are no right or wrong answers — please answer based on your own experience of the organization.
