Do not respond to the items as if they were part of a test or in terms of what you think a leader or manager ought to behave in the past when you were faced with situations similar to those described or in terms of the way you think you would behave if you were faced with each of the situations described. In reading each situation, interpret key concepts in terms of the environment or situation, in which you most often think of yourself assuming a leadership role. For example, when an item mentions subordinates, if you think that you engage in leader behavior most often as an industrial manager, then think about your staff as subordinates. As if however, you think of yourself as assuming a leadership role usually as parent, think about children as your subordinates. Do not change your situational frame or reference from one item to another.
