About This Test
What It Measures
This test measures workplace psychological safety—the shared belief that interpersonal risk-taking is safe within your work environment. Based on Amy Edmondson's organizational research, it evaluates whether you can speak up with questions, concerns, mistakes, or ideas without fear of embarrassment, rejection, or punishment. Psychological safety is the strongest predictor of team performance, learning, and innovation. Unlike physical safety or job security, this captures the emotional climate that determines whether people bring their full selves to work or hide behind professional masks.
How It Works
You'll respond to 8 statements about trust in colleagues, whether mistakes are learning opportunities, comfort with difficult conversations, respect for differences, ability to take interpersonal risks, safety in asking for help, and feeling heard in decisions. Your score reveals whether your workplace feels hostile (unsafe to be authentic), guarded (selective about what you share), or thriving (fully safe for authentic expression). The test helps identify whether your environment supports psychological risk-taking necessary for growth and innovation.
When to Use This Test
Take this test if you're censoring yourself at work, hiding mistakes from colleagues, feeling undervalued or unheard, questioning whether your work environment is toxic, experiencing anxiety about speaking up in meetings, or evaluating whether to stay in your current role. Note: psychological safety varies by team, not just company—you might feel safe with your immediate colleagues but not with leadership. Low scores often indicate leadership problems, not personal weakness. Research shows psychologically unsafe environments increase stress, decrease performance, and drive talent away.
