Least Preferred Coworker Scale (LPC)
Think of a person with whom you have difficulties working. He or she may be someone you work with now or someone you knew in the past. The person need not be someone you like the least but should be someone with whom you had the most difficulty in getting a job done. Describe this person as he or she appears to you. After scoring your questionnaire, write one page that explains the implications of your results from a leadership perspective.

Scoring Interpretation: Your final LPC score is determined by adding up the numbers you circled on all of the 18 scales. If your score is 57 or below, you are a low LPC, which suggests that you are task motivated. If your score is within the range of 58 to 63, you are a middle LPC, which means you are independent. Individuals who score 64 or above are called high LPCs, and they are thought to be more relationship motivated. Because the LPC is a personality measure, the score you get on the LPC scale is believed to be quite stable over time and not easily changed. Low LPCs tend to remain low, moderate LPCs tend to remain moderate, and high LPCs tend to remain high.
