But this test was no bullsh!t.<\/p>\n<p>The methodology was created by a scholar named <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meredith_Belbin\">Meredith Belbin<\/a>. In the end, the test will fit you into one or more team roles, which will <strong>reveal your behavioural strengths and weaknesses<\/strong>.

To speed up things, and because I&#8217;m a nice person, I created a <del><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belbin.com\/about\/copyright\/\">spreadsheet ready to download and use<\/a><\/del>. I must warn you that I used an optimized version of SPI (56 statements instead of 64), however results should be equivalent. The first page contains the assessment and the second page the results. <del><strong>Download it and follow the steps<\/strong><\/del>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Self-Assessment Inventory is composed of seven sections, each with eight statements.<\/li>\n<li>For each section, distribute a total of 10 points between the statements based on which best describes your behaviors or attitudes. The points may be distributed between several statements or to a single statement. You are allowed a total 70 points. Take your time and respond honestly since there are no right or wrong answers.<\/li>\n<li>After you complete the seven sections, open the Result worksheet. Higher rankings represent greater predispositions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>In my case, the test was extremely accurate.<\/strong> Wanna know what I got? No? OK, I&#8217;ll tell you anyway. Here are my three main roles:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Monitor\/Evaluator. Logical, listens to all opinions and values them equally, judges accurately. However, lacks drive and ability to inspire others.<\/li>\n<li>Team worker. Diplomatic, cooperative, worries about others&#8217; problems and helps them. However, is indecisive and requires direction.<\/li>\n<li>Completer. Delivers on time, painstakingly searches omissions and ensures coherence and quality. However, worries unduly and has a tendency for perfectionism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What about you? What&#8217;s your team role?
