How to Read the Management Behavior Status Check

Twelve questions, six signals, about a minute. It reads management behavior you have observed — not anyone's mental state.

What it actually measures

Every question asks about an observable fact: how many times direction changed this week, whether approvals slowed down, whether you were contacted while on leave. It never asks what kind of person your manager is, because that question returns feelings rather than information.

How the score works

Six signals, two questions each, zero to three points per question, where higher means more difficult. The six are averaged and inverted into a 0–100 running status, so a higher number means a calmer week.

What to do with the result

The useful part isn't the total. It's whichever of the six scored highest. That tells you what is actually draining you right now, and the forecast gives you a matching response.

One boundary

This is entertainment. It makes no medical or psychological judgment and rates no real person. Results are private by default, and anything you share contains none of your answers.
