Administering the instrument
When administering the instrument, emphasize that it is a forced-choice instrument, and that it
is important to follow the directions in order to get useful results.
How to score the instrument:
Add up all the a's (1a + 2a etc.) for the structural score and put it next to the ST code at the
bottom of the page. Then, in the same way, add all the b's for HR, the c's for Political, and d's for
Symbolic. The four scores should total 60. If not, respondents should check their work.
Then ask them to plot their scores on the graphic in the scoring handout.
Discussing the Results
After individuals have completed and scored the form, we often collect high scores and low
scores for each frame, and display them on a blackboard or flipchart. (Ties are possible -- a
person can be equally high or low on more than one frame.) This gives a rough indication of the
distribution of frame orientations in a group.
An effective discussion activity once people have computed their scores is to ask them to meet
in small groups (typically, 2-4 people) and discuss two questions:
(1) Do the results seem right? (That is, do individuals feel that their scores make sense? If
not, what's wrong, or what's missing?)
wrong, it turns out that they filled out the instrument incorrectly.
(2) Are the results what they want? (That is, given their sense of the kind of leader they want
or need to be, how well do these results fit?)
If anyone asks, the instrument's reliability is high but the validity is not so high. Self-ratings of
leadership tend not to be highly valid, and the forced-choice nature of the instrument creates

limitations as well. The instrument is more useful for stimulating thinking and learning than for
providing an accurate snapshot of an individual's leadership behavior.
