Personal Self-Assessment
Moral Competency Inventory
Please choose one rating in response to each statement. You will get the most value from this assessment if you respond honestly. It may be tempting to give yourself a high rating because the statement sounds positive, but please do your best to rate yourself accurately in terms of your beliefs or how you behave.
For your results to be accurately calculated, you must answer all of the items.

II. YOUR MCI ALIGNMENT SCORE
A. Your total MCI alignment score is: 35.5Score Ranking
90-100 Very High
80-89 High
60-79 Moderate
40-59 Low
20-39 Very Low
B. What Your MCI Alignment Score Means
•Your total score is a measure of alignment. If your score is high, it is highly likely that you typically act in ways that are consistent with your beliefs and goals. If your score is low, it is likely that your typical behavior is out of synch with what you believe and what you want for yourself.
•There are quite a few different ways to look at your MCI scores. No single interpretation is correct, and no "test" is the last word on your capabilities. We recommend that you reflect on each of these aspects of your MCI scores to see whether they trigger the self-awareness that is so crucial to ongoing moral development.
•We think you will find your results to be interesting and illuminating. If there are aspects of the MCI interpretation that are confusing or don't make sense to you, then we trust that in the final analysis, you know yourself better than any assessment. That said, here are some ways to interpret your scores.
•The maximum possible score is 100. A score of 100 would mean that you answered every item on the MCI with a "5" and would indicate that you believe you are completely competent in all ten moral competencies assessed by the inventory. Since no human being is perfect, a perfect score on the MCI might mean that you have some difficulty acknowledging areas of weakness.
•The minimum score is 20. Most people have some degree of moral competency; therefore, low and very low scores may reflect excess self-criticism rather than genuine moral incompetence. In our experience, scores below 60 are extremely rare, most likely because corporate leaders do not succeed without some degree of moral competency.
•MCI scores fall most frequently in the moderate range, between 60 and 79.
•Your total MCI score is simply a snapshot of your overall moral competence. If you take the MCI every year or so, your total score can help you see whether your overall level of moral competence is increasing.
•You may re-take this as often as you like.
III. Highest and Lowest Competency Scores
Your Highest Competencies Your Lowest Competencies
Ability to let go of one’s own mistakes Admitting mistakes and failures
Actively caring about others Taking responsibility for personal choices
Ability to let go of others’ mistakes Embracing responsibility for serving others
Most people who complete the MCI have one or two moral competency scores that stand out as higher and lower than the bulk of the scores.
Do your highest scores fit your understanding of your own strengths?
If so, these are the competencies that you know how to use to maintain alignment and promote high performance. Are there any high scores that surprised you? If so, they may represent areas of strength that you had not been aware of and are competencies that can further help you to achieve your goals.
Do your lowest scores fit your understanding of where your weaknesses lie?
If so, you have an opportunity to develop your competencies if you decide that improvement in those competencies is important to you. Are there any low scores that surprised you? If so, they may represent blind spots that are keeping you from reaching your goals.
IV. Individual Item Scores
High Scored Items (Rated 5 or 4)
Item Score Item
5 Even when I have made a serious mistake in my life, I am able to forgive myself and move ahead
4 I accept that other people will make mistakes
4 I resist the urge to dwell on my mistakes
If you have a few scores of "5", those items may be areas of particular strength that you should recognize, appreciate, and use. If you have a majority of "5s", you may be extremely morally competent across the board, but you may also have overrepresented your strengths. People with very high scores across the board may need to solicit feedback from others to confirm the accuracy of their scores.
Low Scored Items (Rated 1, 2 or 3)
Item Score Item
1 I truly care about the people I work with as people – not just as the 'human capital' needed to produce results
1 I spend a significant amount of my time providing resources and removing obstacles for my coworkers
1 My leadership approach is to lead by serving others
1 When things go wrong, I do not blame others or circumstances
1 My friends and coworkers know they can depend on me to keep my word
1 When I make a mistake, I take responsibility for correcting the situation
1 If I knew my company was engaging in unethical or illegal behavior, I would report it, even if it could have an adverse effect on my career
1 When a situation may prevent me from keeping a promise, I consult with those involved to renegotiate the agreement
1 I discuss my mistakes with coworkers to encourage tolerance for risk
1 When someone asks me to keep a confidence, I do so
1 I pay attention to the development needs of my coworkers
1 I use my mistakes as an opportunity to improve my performance
1 My coworkers would say that I take ownership for my decisions
1 If I believe that my boss is doing something that isn’t right, I will challenge him or her
1 I am willing to accept the consequences of my mistakes
1 I tell the truth unless there is an overriding moral reason to withhold it
1 Even when people make mistakes, I continue to trust them
1 I own up to my own mistakes and failures
1 When I make a decision that turns out to be a mistake, I admit it
1 I am able to 'forgive and forget,' even when someone has made a serious mistake
If you have some scores that are "2" or "1", what weaknesses do those items represent? Since most people who take the MCI have very few item scores below "3," low item scores usually represent wonderful opportunities for removing obstacles to high performance.
Take a look at the item scores for your highest and lowest competencies. Was your lowest competency score a result of midrange scores for each of the four related items, or was your competency score low because of one very low item score? If so, you may find that paying attention to that single aspect of the competency could greatly boost your competence in that area.
V. Do Your Scores Matter?
All of the competencies included in the MCI are important, and all act synergistically. But realistically, we are all human and need to concentrate on developing the competencies that will have the most impact on ourselves and our organizations.
You already have decided whether your scores accurately reflect your areas of moral strength and weakness. At a deeper level, how well do your scores represent competency areas that are important to you? After all, you can be good or bad at things that you don't care about. So we encourage you to think about the extent to which the competencies identified are consistent with your moral compass and your goals.

VI. Reality Testing
How much do you trust your self assessment of your moral competencies? Most of us have some degree of difficulty seeing ourselves as others see us.
As a reality test, we recommend that you share your MCI scores with one or two trusted friends or colleagues. Here are some questions you can ask them:
•How well do my strengths as reported on the MCI reflect your perception of my strengths?
•How well do my weaknesses as reported on the MCI reflect your perception of my weaknesses?
•Are there other moral competencies that you see as my strengths?
•Are there other moral competencies that you see as weaknesses?
•On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate me on integrity?
•On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate me on responsibility?
•On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate me on how well I show compassion?
•On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate me on my capacity for forgiveness?
