Win-Win Mindset Test
Most of us have been taught that we should go for the win-win in human interactions. Nevertheless, we often end up comparing ourselves to and competing with others. We turn win-win into win-lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game.
One reason win-win can be so hard to achieve is that it requires both empathy and courage. Win-win is not about being nice or being tough – win-win requires that you be both, balancing consideration for others with confidence and bravery.
Do you have a win-win mindset? For each of the following statements, indicate how well it describes you below.

The IDRlabs Win-Win Mindset Test (IDR-WWMT) was developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-WWMT is based on the work of Dr. Stephen Covey, DRE, who wrote “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” The IDR-WWMT is not associated with any specific authors or researchers in the field of personality psychology, counseling psychology, or any affiliated research institutions.
The test provides the following feedback: Integrity: People with high integrity scores tend to stick to their values and commitments; they have strong moral principles, which guide how they behave and which, in turn, determine their stance toward others. Individuals with high integrity know what their morals are and are committed to applying them in their daily transactions, conversations, and decisions. With their strong character foundation, they maintain healthy interactions by building trust and mutual respect. They are accountable in setting standards and making sure that everybody can benefit from the agreement.
Maturity: Mature individuals feel at ease with the person they are. They cherish their strengths as gifts and understand that shortcomings or weak suits are part of the human condition. As a consequence, such people are better able to muster the courage to express their expectations, and they flexibly cooperate on projects while remaining considerate of the perspectives and wishes of others. People high in maturity are thus better able to pursue objectives in life while maintaining healthy relationships. Indeed, such people are often more willing to intelligently compromise to make sure that everyone gets more of what they want.
Interdependence: People who are high in interdependence naturally seek to establish mutually beneficial relationships among themselves and the people around them. They are secure in their belief that success is not a zero-sum game and that there is enough for everyone. Indeed, such people understand that winning is not about putting other people down, since true success does not come at the expense of others. Individuals with high interdependence scores thus value the spirit of cooperation and strive to create solutions that are satisfying for all.
