Psychological safety isn’t niceness — it’s whether people can tell each other the truth. This scan reads your team on it. Six questions.
Answer for the team you lead or sit in, as it actually behaves. The scan looks at whether candour — dissent, bad news, admitting error — is genuinely safe here.
The Psychological Safety Scan is a free psychological safety assessment from Impact Thinking — 6 statements, about three minutes, built directly on the frameworks published on our research desk. It reads whether people on your team can take interpersonal risks — dissent, admitting error, bad news, hard truths — without paying for it, and where specifically the risk sits.
It’s built for team leads and executives who want to know what their people aren’t saying. The free read returns your band and profile immediately, with an interpretation of what the result means and the one thing it suggests you can’t currently see. It pairs with Systems & Conversations, the programme built on the same ground.
It reads whether people on your team can take interpersonal risks — dissent, admitting error, bad news, hard truths — without paying for it, and where specifically the risk sits. It reads 6 statements and returns a banded profile with a deep interpretation.
About three minutes — 6 statements on a five-point scale. The read is free and immediate: your band, your profile, and the blind spot it points to. A full personalised report, benchmarked against other leaders, is £95; a whole-team report is £495.
It’s a structured self-assessment built on the frameworks published on our research desk — designed for development, team performance and measurement, not for hiring decisions. For selection contexts we run structured engagements where instruments inform, and never replace, human judgment.
By reading where speaking is expensive: dissenting from the leader, admitting mistakes, delivering bad news, questioning how things are done. Silence is a rational calculation of cost; the scan reads the price your team has learned.
