Find Your Personal Brand With Our Assessment Tool
The Personal Brand Assessment is an online questionnaire (120 questions, about 30 minutes) designed to measure personal psychological preferences, particularly in terms of how people approach social and professional dynamics.
Use the tool in conjunction with You Are a Brand! 2nd Edition, particularly chapter four’s detailed discussion of Ten Personal Brand Strategies. (The URL for the assessment tool is listed at the end of chapter 4.)
The Ten Self-Brand Positioning Strategies are:
1. The Innovator
2. The Leader
3. The Maverick
4. The Identifiee
5. The Engineer
6. The Expert
7. The Client Advocate
8. The Elitist
9. The Heir
10. The Crusader
While not a predictor of job success, the online Personal Brand Assessment Tool should help you focus on the two or three personal brand strategies that best fit your personality and preferences.
