The SSQ dimensions were identified from a review of the literature on the psychology of selling. The ipsative SSQ compares your skills in one area to those in another area, and produces a differentiated list of the skills that you find easier and harder without reference to other people. The normative SCQ compares your selling skills to a large norm group showing how your skills compare with those of other sales people. |
