326 LEADERSHIP THEORY AND PRACTICE
LEADERSHIP INSTRUMENT _________________________
As discussed earlier in this chapter, Kelley (1992) developed a typology that
categorized followers into one of five styles (exemplary, alienated, conform-
ist, passive, and pragmatist) based on two axes (independent thinking and
active engagement). These different dimensions of followership became the
basis for Kelley’s Followership Questionnaire, a survey that allows follower-
ship style to be determined through an empirical approach, rather than
through observation.

cate the extent to which the statement describes you and your behavior in
this situation.
