SPQ_GOLD® Assessment Instructions

The Sales Preference Questionnaire (SPQ_GOLD® and SPQ_GOLD® / FSA) are, on the surface, sales oriented assessments asking about your behaviours in selling or self-promotion situations.

Please read the following before completing the assessment

  • Although the role you in or are going for may or may not have a sales focus, everyone has to sell things from time to time even those people in non-sales roles.
  • For example, a manager may have to sell an idea or proposal to others, and we all have to sell ourselves in an interview situation.
  • Please try to keep an open mind when completing this questionnaire, and imagine you are selling something that you believe in.
  • There is no time limit for these assessments. There are two versions of the assessment and the first SPQ*GOLD® will take approximately 45 minutes to complete however the second SPQ*GOLD® / FSA will take an hour to an hour and a quarter to complete.
