The revised Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) is a short but comprehensive survey of 45 items which measures a full range of leadership styles. Dimensions include:
- Transformational Leadership
- Transactional Leadership
- Non-Transactional Leadership styles (Passive, Avoidant)
- Outcomes of Leadership (such as Effectiveness)
The revised MLQ 5x has strong validity and reliability and has been used extensively in research and commercial applications worldwide. It has proven to be a strong predictor of leader performance across a broad range of organisations at different organisational levels and in different national cultures.

The MLQ provides for 360-degree measurement of a leader / manager with anonymous reporting facilitated by accredited persons internal or external to an organisation. Responses are gathered from the individual being surveyed and from associates at a higher level, same level, and a lower level. An additional 'other' group may also be utilised. Numbers of raters typically range between eight and twenty-four in any given report.
Responses are confidentially collated into an extensive report that helps leaders understand their scores. The report includes:
- Brief overview of the Full Range leadership Model (FRLM) by Bass and Avolio, 1995
- Full descriptions of the leadership styles and outcomes with raters
- Listing of key research findings on Transformational Leadership and the FRLM
- Optimal behaviour frequency ranges, based on research outcomes included in profile graphs
- Graphical reporting of the results for each of the 9 FRLM factors and 3 outcomes scales, both aggregated, and and relative to orgnisational level
- Comparison with up to 3 Norms - Global, Australian (or country) aggregate, market segment or within current organisation
- Top 6 strengths in Transformational Leadership styles (specific to each Leader profile)
- Top 6 areas for Transformational Leadership development (also specific to the Leader)
- Self-Rater gap analysis - Leaders are compared across the 9 factors with all other Raters in each group graphically for difference rating
- 3 Open-response fields for unique Rater Comments regarding
- What is admired about the Leader
- What gets in the way of their leadership
- How Leaders can improve their effectiveness
- Full reporting of all data
- Individual planning and goal setting, and information on ‘Making the most of your MLQ Report’ (consistent with MLQ Accreditation training)
