Multiply your total score by 10. You'll end up with a score between 0 and 280. If your score is from 0-70 your NQ is terrible, from 71-140 your NQ needs improvement, from 141-210 your NQ is good, and from 211 to 280 your NQ is excellent.
So how did you do? Are you a networking neophyte or a world-class contender? Does this self-assessment point to some areas you might want to work on to improve your NQ? No matter how you scored, you can always get better.
Tim Sanders, Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo once said, "All of your knowledge won't amount to much if you don't have a network of people to share it with and enough compassion for the people in that network to understand that your success is a direct result of their success."
I couldn't have said it better myself. Happy networking!

About the two noteworthy shifts, I don't think it's quite Convincing to conclude "relationships component MUST become bigger part".
1) All it says is People may NOT want to wait 20-years, not necessarily means leadership development can be accelerated.
2) Internet provided better ways to communicate (network), that's it.
Not that I am a fan of the "20%" estimation from 20 years ago, but I believe it's just equally possible that "relationship" has the same importance as before. The only thing changed (by Internet) was the effectiveness of how people communicate/network.

Funny thing about this assessment, if the same total for Question 3-7, people having 50-Good contacts would have the same score as people who have 51-poor contacts. Same thing goes with 50-VeryGood vs 101-Poor (or 205-Terrible).
