Salary Negotiation, Compensation, and Job Offer Quiz:
Scoring Guide

 

by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

 

Are you currently interviewing with companies -- or plan to in the near future? Do you feel confident that you can negotiate the best job offer -- the best compensation package -- from prospective employers? Take our Salary Negotiation, Compensation, and Job Offer Quiz and test your salary negotiation readiness.

 

And don't forget to review the answers to the quiz in our detailed Salary Negotiation, Compensation, and Job Offer Quiz: Answers section.

 

Scoring: Give yourself three points for every correct response.

 

If you scored...

• 57-63 points, you are prepared to be a master salary negotiator
• 51-58 points, you are in good shape, but need more polish to be a master negotiator
• 45-50 points, you are in need of learning much more about salary negotiations
• Under 45 points, you are likely to lose job opportunities if you don't learn more about salary negotiations
