A. Gallup’s Clifton Q12 Questionnaire Survey
Donald Clifton(1924-2003) is considered the father of strength-based psychology by the American Psychological Association. He and his team undertook one of the largest structured missions in understanding what makes a manager successful. In the quest, they interviewed one million employees and managers across various industries including software, hotel, hospitality, aviation, manufacturing, construction, financial, and so on. Clifton and his team asked hundreds of questions to the one million people they interviewed. They then run sophisticated statistical analysis tools to identify the most important questions and their answers that had the strongest correlation to the success of the organization.
The team finally discovered the only 12 questions that determine the work culture as a whole, and in turn, determine the interpersonal success of the people of the company and the eventual growth and success of the company. This set of 12 questions is called the Q12 employee engagement scale. This to date has the largest organizational culture assessment sample size.
B. Validity and Reliability of the Test
Various studies including one by Brand et. al1Brand, Conrad & Visagieยน, Jan. (2013). Revisiting the Validity and Reliability of the Gallup Workplace Audit in a South African Petrochemical Company. Journal of the Social Sciences. 37(1). 69-79. 10.1080/09718923.2013.11893205. that checked the test in South Africa had a Cronchbase ฮฑ=0.923ย in a sample size of 2588. Therefore this scale can be considered highly reliable.
C. Adaptation of the Survey in this Test
Though there are several scales that measure a range of metrics for organizational culture from employee engagement to employee satisfaction, Gallup’s Q12 scale has still remained a defacto in a reliable Organizational culture measurement. As we are seeing “pink weather” and high layoffs, it becomes important for the workforce to know the type of work environment they are in. The less favorable work environments are the ones that will most likely adapt to the current trend of downsizing teams and replacing human teams with machines.
Changes in the original test
The original questionnaire had five levels in the answers, which is extended to seven answer sets to extend the spectrum of the answers for better classification. We have also introduced five classifications from five-star to one-star organization rather than a binary good/bad classification.ย This classification system is our contribution to the scale.
We have also introduced Pressure and Heart Rate Scales with this test set to help organizations identify if there is any correlation health of their employees and the organization’s culture.
This test is intended for three primary purposes:
- To help individual professional to understand their emotional well-being.
- To help the individual professionals to assess their work environment to help them make a decision on switching.
- Help the employees to assess the quality of their team and the manager.
- Help the managers to obtain the average score from his/her team and realistically assess his/her value to the organization, as their value to the organization depends upon the team’s perception of the organization.
- Help organizations of any scale to collect anonymous scores from employees, and assess its human resource assets.
- Helps the investors assess the organizational culture and make a learned investment decision based on the quality of the culture.

What is the objective of taking a self-screening mental health test online?
We know about cars and stars more than we know ourselves. From childhood, people mostly ask us, "what do you want to become," or "what do you do?" but rarely anyone has ever wanted to know who we are. We know very little about ourselves, which is why when we struggle with life and relationships, we do not get the results we expect even after hard work; when people cheat us or betray us, we blame others or our destiny.
- We must always continue to know ourselves.
- The more we know about ourselves, the better we will be able to interact with the world.
- Without knowing our limitations in both qualitative as well as quantitative ways, we can not improve.
- If we do not improve and grow in life, we will always shrink and become ill.
- It is often uncomfortable to discuss our real thoughts, feelings, and insecurities, even with psychologists; we are often unaware of our actual thinking.
- Because our thoughts, feelings, and situations in life change all the time, if you take this test ten times, every time, you may get different results.
- Therefore a self-assessment and screening test is a great way to know yourself and know if there are any problems at the early stage so that you can use the Lyfas recommendation therapeutics to start improving.
- If you keep thinking about a problem and illness, you will always remain ill; however, if you start knowing yourself, you will start growing; once you grow in life, make Lyfas part of your growth journey.
