Productivity Style Asssessment
When it comes to personal productivity advice for knowledge workers, one size doesn't fit all. In fact, an individual's cognitive style—that is, the way he or she prefers to perceive and process information—can have a dramatic impact on the success or failure of time management techniques and performance enhancement strategies. This assessment is designed to help you understand your own style—how you think, learn, and communicate best—and to guide you toward productivity tips that like-minded people have found most effective.To take the quiz, follow the instructions & complete each item quickly and intuitively. There are no right or wrong answers and the more honest your response is, the more accurate the assessment is likely to be. The process will only take between 10-15 mins.Please consider each statement and indicate how often each statement applies to you.
