How to Choose the Right Trust Assessment For Your Team
Choosing the wrong team assessment wastes more than money. It wastes the moment when your team was willing to look.
When choosing a measurement tool for your team, here’s what you must remember: the “best” trust assessment is the one that matches your team’s readiness, your timeline, your “why,” and what you’re actually prepared to do with your results.
Not every team needs a scalpel when a mirror might do. Not every culture can handle nine dimensions of feedback when they're still figuring out if it’s safe to disagree.
That’s why we built this simple quiz to help you figure out what actually makes sense for your situation—which might be our Team 360 Trust Assessment, might be someone else’s team assessment, might be a combination of different tools, or might simply be “not yet.”
Find Your Right Starting Point
Trust assessments aren’t one-size-fits-all. Different teams need different tools depending on where they are in their trust journey, the degree of psychological safety present, and the specific measurement goals the team is pursuing.
The below quiz evaluates seven evidence-based trust assessment tools against your unique situation and recommends the top three best matches for your team.
Answer eight questions about your team’s current situation, and we’ll recommend which assessment tools align with where you actually are (not where you wish you were).
This takes about one minute, and we do not gate-keep your results! We just want to help you think through your decision.

We’ll recommend Team 360 Trust when it’s your ideal solution and competitor tools when they’re the better fit for your situation.
What is the Best Trust Assessment For My Team?
The Assessment That Builds Trust Is the One You Honor
We’ve seen teams use simple tools brilliantly—because leaders took the feedback seriously, apologized where needed, changed specific behaviors, and checked back in three months later.
We’ve seen teams use sophisticated tools poorly—because the report was interesting but nothing changed, confirming everyone's cynicism that “management doesn’t actually care about our input.”
The teams that transform trust aren’t the ones who picked the “perfect” assessment or received the “perfect” results. They’re the ones who honored what the scores revealed by actually changing.
Whatever the quiz recommended, the real question is:
Are you prepared to act on what you learn?
If the answer is yes, you're ready. Pick a tool and commit to the follow-through.
If the answer is “maybe” or “not yet,” consider starting with trust-building activities instead of trust measurement. Build enough safety that the assessment results can be productive later.
And of course, if you believe that the Team 360 Trust assessment is right for your team and situation, you can start the process right here, or, if you have questions that need answering, you can schedule a 30-minute consultation with Corey Blake—the creator of Team 360 Trust.
The moment your team is willing to look at trust is precious. Choose wisely. Choose honestly. And honor whatever you discover.
