SILMCoachingScale
Dear Respondent,
Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.
The SILM® Coaching Scale (Beta) combines two scales. A relationship scale that explores attitudes towards others and society in general; and a behavioural scale that explores thinking styles, emotion and environmental preferences. The aim is to compare responses across the different scales. The final section (optional) asks three questions about you and your role which will allow comparison between groups. Your responses will be anonymous unless you request a summary of the results, in which case your email address will be held by the researcher for the purpose of forwarding results and deleted after use.
INSTRUCTIONS: Please allow 10-15 minutes to complete the questionnaire when you are feeling comfortable and relaxed (with option click "Save and Finish Later" anytime at foot of page).
Please indicate your level of agreement or disagreement with each of the statements by selecting one of the four options from "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree". All statements require a response. Please try to decide one way or the other on as many statements as possible.
IMPORTANT: Completing this questionnaire is voluntary. If for any reason you do not wish to continue, please stop. You are under no obligation to complete this questionnaire. Simply close your browser to leave the site.
Thank you.
