9 Administration Alternatives The PDA Assessment will allow us to describe and analyse your natural behavioural tendencies and, thus, understand your strengths regarding our organization and obtain an objective view on how to lead you more effectively. It is important to clarify that the PDA Assessment is not a test that a person passes or fails to pass and that there are no good or bad, or correct or incorrect answers. Although there is no time limit, completing the assessment takes minutes. Simply complete every page according to the instructions. Once you complete the assessment, please hand it in. Do you have any questions? If the answer is no, you may begin. Remember to stress the importance of being natural and straightforward when selecting “all the words that you or others use to describe you”. When sharing the instructions, do not tell the assessed individuals that you expect to have a minimum selection of 19 words. This could invalidate the results of the assessment.
