The ITPQ is not a psychometric questionnaire. It does not attempt to measure any facet related to individuals, nor is it constructed in a conventional psychometric manner. The ITPQ is a questionnaire aimed at identifying the types of behaviors or roles that are most likely to lead to team success. It can be used as the basis of team building workshops or individual coaching, in order to:

• Increase a team's awareness of what will make them successful in their particular circumstances


• Identify different perceptions of team success, between team members, customers, peer groups, senior management and others


• Undertake a gap analysis between current and desired behaviors, and plan actions to reduce that gap


• Assessing the stretch between job demands and personal preferences


• Support organizational development and succession planning processes by identifying the differing demands required of individuals in different teams and at different levels of the organization.
