How to take AMP

Questions are scored out of 7, where 1 represents the lowest performance, and 7 the highest. Each question provides an example of what these extremes could look like.

The AMP gauge

When taken individually, AMP is best used as a tool for self-reflection. That’s why at the end of each section, we provide you with an opportunity to fill out any thoughts that occurred to you.

We use your answers to generate an AMP Visual, plotting your scores on the AMP Wheel. The AMP Visual will get sent to you once you complete the test, alongside the notes you took along the way.
