Ideal Administrator - Long-Term Care Leadership

Self-Assessment

As a LTC administrator, you are invited to assess your leadership ability.

This self-assessment is derived from the ACHCA’s “The Principles of Excellence.”  Therefore, the items in this test enunciate the highest standards to which a long-term care leader should aspire to.  The test items address two vital dimensions of leadership: a) the mission, beliefs and principles that drive a leader, and b) the actual performance of the leader.

The results of the web-based test are automatically computed when you complete the test.  

How to take the test

On each test item rate yourself with a score of 1 to 5 to indicate how often during the last twelve months you exhibited the behavior described in the item. It is not important here whether you agree with the statement; nor whether you intended to, but did not, act that way; nor if your actions proved effective.  Assign a score simply on how frequently you behaved that way in the last twelve months.

In case you feel an item seems to bundle different behaviors into one statement, simply see those related behaviors as expressing one underlying feature of a leader.  Score that item as if it is one.

Use the following scoring codes 1 through 5 to indicate how frequently you behaved relative to each item:

Note: If an item does not apply to your leadership role, leave it blank.
