Locus of Control
Internal or external — who is in control?
About this test
Do you shape your destiny or does life happen to you? Julian Rotter's framework measures whether you lean internal (I'm in control) or external (forces beyond me decide). Neither is universally better — internals handle career setbacks more proactively, while externals cope better with genuine bad luck. Knowing your lean changes how you approach setbacks.
