FAQ
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
What's the cost to take this quiz?
Zero. For now anyway. We reserve the right to charge in future if the price of food, clothing, and children's diapers goes up substantially in our corner of the world (Metro Washington, DC, USA).
Why are you doing this for free?
It allows us to demonstrate the experience of working with our tools and resources while adding value to your professional life. May be you will feel compelled to engage with us further and benefit from what we offer. If not, you will walk away with something of value and we will have generated some goodwill.
Can I share this quiz with others?
Certainly. You can simply email or share the link to this page using the social sharing buttons provided.
Will you send me emails?
Yes, we will. Here's how it works.

Is this yet another silly quiz about which Disney prince/ss I am?
We won't ask you about your favorite Disney prince or princess. Promise. Nor would we tell on you or judge you for who you are.
We will, however, follow up with tips, tricks and strategies on how to build their own business philosophies and management theories so that you can build a self-perpetuating, self-sustaining, long-lasting business success, but only if you want. (You can opt-out from the follow-up series of strategies and tips at any time. )
Nothing wrong with those silly personality quizzes, by the way. I took a Harry Potter quiz once and I came out as Ravenclaw. Who would have thought? My daughters think I should be Slytherin. Truth. That made for a good family discussion.
Will it hurt to know the answer? Isn't ignorance bliss?
Wherever you come out, let me assure you, the answers will be relieving and refreshing.
Have you ever gone to a doctor with some pain in the neck? Once you knew what was going on, you most likely felt a bit better. Knowing the truth about a situation makes you feel better because it relieves the emotional tug-of-war we subject ourselves to when something is not going right in a situation.
Also, you will have many ideas about what changes to make in your business to make it stronger, longer-lasting, and more engaging business for everyone involved with it. This will give you a sense of power and control over your professional life and make you feel a bit better.
What will you do with the information you collect?
The information we collect help us get to know you better so that we can continue to bring you tools, resources, and learning experiences to make building and managing your business more effective.
The results of this survey are stored on a secure server where we can access them later if you want us to do deeper analysis. We may also use this data if we create team reports or more detailed reports on your business - but only if you ask us to.
You can ask us to remove all your data from our systems and servers at any time and we will do so within 3 to 5 business days. Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service give you more details.
Are you GDPR compliant?
Not really. Actually, we may be, but I feel safer to say "no" for now.
Let me explain.
We have done everything possible to make sure that we are in compliance with most requirements of GDPR. But so much is left to interpretation - "gray areas," as they say - that we may not be fully in compliant yet in the strictest sense of the law.
According to some very strict interpretations of the GDPR law, we should not even be asking for emails in return for our expertise. This would be like handing out candy in the streets for free forever. We feel that this is not be in the best interest of our business, as we do have bills to pay. We share our work in exchange for getting to know the folks who might benefit from what we do a bit better and continuing a dialogue with them - with their permission.
If you happen to live in the parts of the world where GDPR is applicable and the strictest compliance is important to you, you may want to not take this quiz.
Having said that, we are trying to understand the full spirit, intent, and the letter of the law as it plays out. We will continually update this page as we understand GDPR better.

What is Awayre Quotient (AQ)? What is Business Structural Strength AQ?
You have built a successful business, perhaps with a few millions of dollars in revenues and many, many employees working for you. Yet, you may agree that some parts of your business may be stagnating or at least not performing as well as others. This creates a bottleneck in your business that could lead an entire business to hit a plateau.
When you discover which parts of your business are not performing as well as others, you have a chance at leveraging the well-performing parts and fixing the parts that are under-performing. With this new-found knowledge, you can build the next stage of success and growth for your business.
Business Structural Strength with Awayre Quotient (AQ for short) does exactly that. It helps you clearly see the parts of your business that are performing well and parts that are not performing as well so that you can build on the good parts and fix the under-performing parts.
Who should take Business Structural Strength AQ?
In every business, some parts of it may be stagnating or not performing as well as others. This creates a bottleneck in that business that could lead an entire business to hit a plateau.
When the people in that business or organization discover which parts of that organization are not performing as well as others, they have a chance at leveraging the well-performing parts and fixing the parts that are under-performing. With this new-found knowledge, they can build the next stage of success and growth for that business.
If you are engaged with such a business or a non-profit in any of the following roles, you may benefit from taking this quiz.

What do I get when I take business structural strength AQ?
How is Business Structural Strength AQ Different?
- Most, if not all, business checks primarily look at 2 human faculties: intellect and behavior. Business Structural Strength AQ looks at 7 human faculties, making it much more comprehensive, in-depth and meaningful.
- Most other business assessments make human intellect the focal point of their business philosophy. Business Structural Strength AQ includes intellect in its business management philosophy but is centered around a much more powerful dimension: human awareness.
- Most business checks give you a score and leave it up to you to interpret it. Business Structural Strength AQ comes with a 30+ page Awayre Quotient Playbook which includes a guide to help you interpret your scores.
- Most other business assessments are one dimensional, giving you scores in one aspect of your business. Awayre Quotient is multi-dimensional, giving you three sets of scores in three different aspects of your business (Health, Alignment and “Layers”).
How does Business Structural Strength AQ Work?
- You enter your valid email address at the beginning of the questionnaire which helps us: 1) deliver the results to you by email, and 2) keep track of your data with unique identifiers.
- You answer - actually, rate on a scale - 35 questions about your business.
- It takes a total of 10 to 15 minutes to go through the questionnaire.
- At the end of the questionnaire, we display three sets of scores - Strength, Alignment and “Layers” - on your computer screen.
- We also email you these same scores along with a link to “Awayre Quotient Playbook” - which includes a score interpretation guide - to help you dig deeper into the scores, for sharing with your team members and for future reference.
What if I fail? Who will know?
Let me assure you: You won't and you can't fail! If you have owned a lead a business or non-profit organization, worked for one, or know a little about one, you already know what you need to know to take this quiz.
Everything that you need to know to take take this quiz is something that you are already an expert on. The quiz is a series of multiple choice types of questions that require you to know no more than what you already know. In fact, we encourage you to be exactly who you are when you take the quiz. It's your unique perspective that's important.
Will I learn anything new? I take so many of these quizzes and such and often come out feeling none the wiser or even disappointed.
There is a simple way to find out if you will get value in taking this quiz. Go through the first 3 to 5 clicks and abandon it if you are not compelled to keep going. (Kinda like watching the first 5 minutes of a new Netflix show to see if you would get hooked.)
You may find that you are learning something new even as you take this quiz. We have designed the quiz so that even just the act of taking it will stir up some inspiration and ideas.
If I know the truth, won't I have to do something about it? My hands are full already. I don't have the time or the energy to take on anything new.
Our learning experiences are designed to work with your psyche effortlessly, becoming a part of your thinking, feeling and behaviors with ease. It is slow, incremental release of information which is made practical at the point of application.
We encourage you to take very small dozes of learning with us and the lessons will become a part of your life in very small and incremental ways, and gradually gather larger and larger impact in your business results.
