The Centre for High Performance Development (CHPD) is a leadership development consultancy with a strong reputation for industry leading research.

What are we doing?

Our R&D website has been developed to collect data and test new products prior to their commercial release. If you help us by completing one of our questionnaires, you will receive a free feedback report via email three to four months after completion. We need this time to analyse all the data that we have collected and produce the most accurate reports possible for people looking to develop their leadership potential. From time to time we also carry out prize draws as a thank you for completing particular studies on this site.

Where possible you will receive a summary of your results upon completion of the research questionnaires and occasionally we research existing products. If you complete a study on one of our existing products you will receive a full feedback report free of charge, once all questionnaires in the study have been completed. More information on all current studies can be accessed through the “studies” tab at the top of the page.

Why are we doing it?
It’s very important that our products are as well researched and validated. This means we need to collate and process large data sets of responses.
What is involved?

All we need you to do is answer the questions as honestly as possible. The questionnaires on the website are slightly longer than the final commercial versions and some questions may appear repetitive. This is intentional, as we write more questions than we initially need, and select the most psychometrically sound statements for our final questionnaire. If you would like to participate in this research, simply create an account to begin.

We are currently running three different research studies – one on personality, one on motivation and one on stress. Click here for more detail on each of these.

Why create an account?

All of our feedback reports are sent to you via email and creating an account (registering) with us is the easiest way for us to ensure that you receive your reports and enter any prize draws. Some of our questionnaires are also quite long (as a necessary part of robust validation) and registering allows you to complete over a number of sessions rather than all at once.

Why do you ask for personal information?

We ask for some basic personal information, so that we can ensure we have a good range of responses and can explore trends across different groups. It is not compulsory to supply this information, but it would be very helpful for our research if you do. This information will never be used to personally identify you; it is purely used for aggregate data analysis.
