Prerak Leadership Assessment — Screener

This cluster is for leaders aged 30 and above — alumni, mentors, advisers, trainers and builders. It reads not for how far you can rise, but for how well you raise and steward others: service leadership, mentorship and giving back. A brisk first pass across the whole person.

Stage 1 of 2 · 36 questions · about 15–20 minutes

Please read this before you start. Namaste, and welcome. You are being considered for a role of trust in ARISE — as a mentor, adviser, trainer or builder. This is not an exam and there are no trick questions. It is a way for us to understand how you lead, how you grow others, and how you would steward a young movement. Answer honestly; there is no single “right” leader.

What it is. Statements to agree or disagree with, a few short real-life choices and quick reasoning puzzles. There are no clinical or mental-health questions, and nothing here screens you for any illness. It takes about 15–20 minutes.

How it is used. This builds an honest, whole-person picture. It produces a profile that may flag for a human conversation — not a pass/fail, and never an automatic rejection. No single score decides anything on its own; every real decision is made by a person.

Your privacy (DPDP). Only ARISE’s trained assessors and the leaders responsible for placement see your responses. They are stored securely and processed under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) — minimum data, never sold or shared, kept only as long as needed. You may request your result, ask for a human review, correct your details, or ask us to delete your data. Participation is voluntary; you may stop anytime.
