THE VISIBILITY/CREDIBILITY INVENTORY<br />

W. Brendan Reddy and Gil Williams<br />

Instructions: Completing this instrument will give you an opportunity to learn about<br />

your power and influence in your group or team. Please answer each question candidly,<br />

each statement, refer to the scale below, choose the number that indicates the degree to<br />

2 = Disagree (Unlike Me)<br />

3 = Slightly Disagree (Somewhat Unlike Me)<br />

4 = Neither Agree nor Disagree (Neither Like nor Unlike me)<br />

5 = Slightly Agree (Somewhat Like Me)<br />
