Management Problem Solving Style Scale (MPSSS)

Instructions:

If you feel that A is most appropriate for your behavior then give 5 points to A and 0 points to
B. If you feel that A is mostly your behavior then give 4 points to A and 1 to point B. If you
feel that A and B are somewhat equally describing your behavior with more slant towards A
then give 3 points to A and 2 points to B. Similarly you can go reverse way also. If B is
mostly your behavior then give 4 points to B and 1 point to A. And if B is most appropriate
for your behavior then give 5 points to B and 0 point to A.

Ensure in all cases that sum of points given to A and B is 5 (i.e, A+B = 5).
