Abstract

A forced-choice scale for measuring managerial skills was developed to estimate five types of managerial skills namely, decision making, leadership, conceptual ability, human relations and communication. There were 70 items in the scale presented in triadic form. Triads were formed by matching preference values of the items. Scoring keys were developed through repeated item analysis. The reliability and concurrent validity of the scales were found to be quite satisfactory. A factor analysis of the scales revealed two basic factors underlying the managerial skills, namely: (1) Planning and Analytical ability, and (2) Organizing and Directing ability. The validity studies conducted in the present investigation are concurrent in nature. It would be good if the predictive validity of the scale is established.
