Are you looking for a free Belbin test? We're here to help... 

What is the Belbin Team Roles test?

The Belbin test is made up of two parts – the Self-Perception Inventory and the Observer Assessments.

After you complete your Self-Perception Inventory online (it takes 15 to 20 minutes) you'll receive a Belbin Individual report based on this data. This will give you an insight in to the Team Role behaviours you see in yourself.

Once you have your Self-Perception report, you then request feedback from those that know you well at work – colleagues, managers and reports – to add their Observer Assessments, at no extra cost. This gives you an indication on the Team Role behaviours others see and value.

What will my report look like?

Once your requested Observers have provided their feedback this is combined with your self-view and an updated, Belbin Individual report will be emailed to you.

The complete Belbin Individual report presents your Team Role Profile, along with a wealth of personalised advice based on decades of research and observations of how people behave in the workplace.

We'll provide advice on the best ways to make your contributions to the team, on your most suited working styles and even make suggestions on work environments which may particularly suit you. 

In completing your Belbin test, you'll have a greater understanding of your strengths, which leads to more effective communication between you and your team, and your manager. 

Great, how do I complete my Belbin Team Roles test?

You can complete your Self-Perception Inventory here, on the Belbin website, whenever you like.

There is a cost - because there's no such thing as a legal 'free Belbin test'.

For an individual, the cost is £49 + VAT but don't worry - if you fill in the form below, we'll send you a discount code.

I thought I could download a Belbin scoring sheet or Belbin Excel spreadsheet?

If you're looking for a Belbin scoring sheet that is marked by hand or via Excel, or downloaded or accessed from a website other than belbin.com, you're looking for something which is illegal to use.

We own the copyright for all Belbin inventories and reports. We do not allow our questionnaires, or years of research, to be reproduced in any form.

Also beware of other free tests that offer to find out your Team Roles. Always do your research. We have not endorsed or licensed any other test. 

These illegal versions of the Belbin tests often do not include all the Belbin Team Roles. They lack the all-important Observer input and Belbin Team Role feedback, developed over decades.

To date, we have taken successful legal action in more than 450 copyright infringement cases.
