Find out your networking quotient

If you have ten minutes to spare and want to find out how savvy you are about networking, take a free 30-question quiz called Networking Quotient.  This assessment tool was developed by Thom Singer, who is the author of Some Assembly Required:  How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships.  He also writes a business development and networking blog.

While it’s neat to see how you score compared to others in your demographic group, I think, you can learn more from the questions themselves because they indicate what you should be thinking about and doing.  Once you complete the quiz, you are given an option of retaking it.  You can click on that link to go back to the questions and use them to evaluate your own networking plan, if you have one.  If you don’t, it may be useful to ponder those questions a little longer and create one.

Hi there! Don't feel too bad. You can add 60 to your score for leaving a comment on my blog, you know. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the mention! You are right, the quiz is not about the score, it is about thinking as you look at the questions and discovering new ways to make connections with people.

Have a great day.
