Diagnostics for Sales & Business Development Validated according to O.C.E.A.N. standard Immediate system evaluation

The reality as a head of sales: You carry the number on your back: revenue, forecast, pipeline coverage, closing rate. If targets are missed, you are the first one in the firing line - whether pricing is off-market, leads are missing, or the product falls apart in front of the customer. At the same time, you are supposed to push your team, manage low performers, limit discount wars, and send confidence upward. The pressure is double: internal political justification and external closing pressure. Many heads of sales live in a permanent state of alarm, control, and emotional exhaustion.

Why this test is different

We do not put you into colorful boxes. The C.O.R.E. Index works like a neutral mirror for your professional reality.

Scientific foundation

We use only the recognized Big Five model. It is the global standard in psychology for making reliable statements about human behavior.

Focus on the real hurdles

We do not only ask about your strengths. The test reveals how much fear of failure, need for security, or the urge for harmony unconsciously slow you down.

Clear action steps

At the end, you do not get vague life wisdom. You learn concretely whether you need to work on setting boundaries or whether only a job change will help.

Who this diagnostic was developed for

The test is aimed at specialists and managers in the Sales & Business Development field who need real change in their day-to-day work.

The invisible high performers

You do the actual work and keep operations running. But when it comes to recognition, promotions, or salary increases, you are systematically overlooked.

The overburdened without boundaries

You feel responsible for everything, constantly step in for colleagues, and find it extremely hard to say "no." The result is deep exhaustion that builds up dangerously.

The frustrated in rigid systems

You have ideas and want to make things happen, but bureaucracy, endless meetings, or outdated structures hold you back until you resign yourself and do only the bare minimum.

The hesitant in the golden cage

You actually know that you need to change jobs or take a risk. But the fear of the unknown or the loss of comfort keeps you stuck where you are.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the test really fit my exact profession?

Yes. The calculations adapt to the real conditions in the Sales & Business Development field. The evaluation takes into account the typical conflicts and stresses you encounter every day as a Head of Sales.

Is the result really free?

The basic result is completely free. You will see your core profile, your biggest blockage, and the most important first steps directly in the browser. After that, there is the entirely optional possibility of purchasing a detailed PDF report.

What makes the C.O.R.E. Index different from other tests?

Many tests on the internet are based on ideas that are over 100 years old (such as those of C.G. Jung) and receive little attention in modern science. We work with the Big Five model, do not assign color types, and instead measure real traits.

Job-specific analysis

When leadership responsibility in sales becomes a constant threat

Standard tips like "delegate better" or "lead more resiliently" often fall short in sales. You are not only managing people, but also volatile markets, unrealistic targets, and a pipeline that looks healthier on paper than in reality. That is where unconscious patterns kick in: existential fear makes you dependent on short-term deals, conflict anxiety keeps you from managing weak sellers properly, and a hidden imposter syndrome drives you into micromanagement. The C.O.R.E. Index clearly separates systemic sales problems from the inner patterns that keep you trapped in this pressure system.

Frequently Asked Questions (Head of Sales)

How does the test help me if my forecast keeps collapsing even though my team is active?

The test does not only assess workload, but the psychological reaction patterns behind your leadership behavior. It shows whether your forecast problem comes mainly from external factors like weak lead quality, the wrong ICP, or politically inflated pipeline assumptions - or whether inner patterns like control compulsion, conflict avoidance, or exaggerated hope for late deals are distorting your steering. That separation is crucial in day-to-day sales leadership.

How long does the diagnostic take?

The survey includes about 70 data points and takes around 8 minutes.

Do I need to register?

No. The primary evaluation is completely anonymous and takes place directly here in the browser without creating a user account.
