As you may be aware, the R&D team at Belbin are currently reviewing all the Belbin questionnaires and reports. We have listened to feedback since the last major overhaul and we hope we have incorporated the majority of suggestions!

As you can imagine, this is a lengthy process, as every change needs to be ‘normed’, and the nuances of the English language can prove tricky!

We are now at a point where we have a new Self-Perception Inventory (SPI). This is where you come in: we need enough responses to ensure that we have made the right changes, and that we have a large enough database from which to take a norm from. We need to obtain about 5000 responses.

If you would like to take part in our research and have a spare 15 minutes, please click here. We would like you to complete the SPI and collect 4 observers. We can’t offer you a full Belbin report in return, but we can send you our latest ‘Manager’s report’ which we are hoping will prove to be a valuable new Belbin report.

This manager’s report is under development, and it is currently produced using a very small norm base, so please bear this in mind when digesting the results. Having said this we hope you will find it useful and, of course, any feedback will be appreciated!

We do need people from a cross-section of organizations and jobs, so please forward this page on to anyone who you think would be intrigued and willing to help.
