Kelley (1992) developed a typology that categorized followers into one of five styles (exemplary, alienated, conformist, passive, and pragmatist) based on two axes (independent thinking and active engagement). These different dimensions of followership became the basis for Kelley’s Followership Questionnaire.

Followership Questionnaire

• Answer the questions as honestly as possible (Questionnaire tab).
• You will get the results on the Results tab of the file.

After completing the questionnaire, reflect on the following questions:

1. How did you feel while answering the questions?
2. What insights and/or observations came to you during the exercise? Post your reflections in forum.
