"Assess Your Friend" Survey

Please report any problems with this survey to Professor Michael Zigarelli.

Instructions

This is an anonymous survey. To maximize the accuracy of this tool, the person you are evaluating will never see your responses, but instead, will receive a report that combines your responses with others who have evaluated him or her.

For each survey item, please indicate the extent to which the statement is true of the person you are evaluating. It is important that you consider carefully not just the person’s recent behaviors, but instead, think back over the past year or so that you’ve known this person. For best results, please think about each question for at least 20 seconds before responding. Also, if you do not know the answer to any item, please click on "I Don’t Know."

Thank you for completing this survey. We hope that it will provide some valuable insights.

 

User ID of the person you are evaluating. You can find the user ID in the invitation email or get it from your friend.

Please indicate to what extent each statement is true of the person you are evaluating
