Think of all the different people with whom you have ever worked¾in jobs, in social clubs, in student projects, or whatever. Next think of the one person with whom you could work least well¾that is, the person with whom you had the most difficulty getting a job done. This is the one person¾a peer, boss, or subordinate¾with whom you would least want to work. Describe this person by circling numbers at the appropriate points on each of the following pairs of bipolar adjectives. Work rapidly. There are no right or wrong answers.

Scoring
This is called the “least-preferred coworker scale” (LPC). Compute your LPC score by totaling all the numbers you circled; enter that score here [LPC = ____ ].
Interpretation
The LPC scale is used by Fred Fiedler to identify a person’s dominant leadership style (see Module 16). Fiedler believes that this style is a relatively fixed part of one’s personality and is therefore difficult to change. This leads Fiedler to his contingency views, which suggest that the key to leadership success is finding (or creating) good “matches” between style and situation.
If your score is 73 or above, Fiedler considers you a “relationship-motivated” leader; if your score is 64 and below, he considers you a “task-motivated” leader. If your score is 65-72, Fiedler leaves it up to you to determine which leadership style is most like yours.
