What's Your Trust Quotient? Announcing a New Self-Assessment Online Tool
by Charles H. Green on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 (post #286)
You may know your IQ (Intelligence Quotient). You have some sense of your EQ (Emotional Intelligence).
But what about your TQ — your Trust Quotient?
I'm excited to announce here the launch of an of a new online self-assessment tool: The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic to answer that question. It's been in development for several weeks now, and I'm sharing it first only with readers of Trust Matters.
The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic consists of 20 questions, based on the the Trust Equation1:
(Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy)
_____________________________
Self-Orientation
The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic measures your Trust Quotient Score—your TQ—and compares it with all other test-takers to date. The database will get better as it gets larger, but early returns suggest it fits very well with commonsense assessments.
The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic also then gives you practical advice and suggestions on how to leverage your strengths, and how to address on your weaknesses.
Please go to TrustedAdvisor.com/TrustQuotient to take The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic . Tell your friends.And if you don't mind, drop us a note to say what you think of The Trust Quotient Self-Diagnostic, including how to make it better and more useful.

Charles--
Great self-assessment tool! I would be interested in knowing how many people would give their clients this to fill out on them as well, since we are all legends in our own minds.
Thank you.
