The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire
The Early, Six-Factor Model, 1985, MLQ Form 1
Bass and his colleagues (1985) asked 78 executives to describe a leader who had made an
impact on whatever they considered important in their leadership roles. The executives were
also asked how the best leaders were able to get others to go beyond self-interest to achieve
group objectives. The researchers then reviewed the literature on charisma.
Based on the literature on charisma and the responses from the executives, the research team
generated 142 items (questions). Eleven experts were able to correctly classify 73 questions
as either transformational or transactional with an 80% agreement criterion.
A group of 176 US Army colonels was next asked to rate their own leaders on these 73 ques-
tions (the MLQ Form 1). A principal components analysis of these data resulted in a six-factor
solution shown below.

The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire
The Eight-Factor Model
1993, MLQ 5X
The current version of the MLQ, the 5X was iteratively developed in the early 1990’s. An initial
version of the MLQ 5X had 80 items (questions).
The items were developed based on the results of a series of factor analyses on the previous
version, the MLQ 5R as well as factor analyses with an early version of the MLQ 5X, called
Form 10. Additional items were also created based on literature that distinguished charismatic
from transformational leadership. Finally, a panel of leadership scholars reviewed the pro-
posed MLQ 5X and made recommendations on how to ensure the instrument matched the
conceptual model of the full range model of leadership behaviors. All of this item development
resulted in an instrument with 80 questions.20
During this time frame, work was also ongoing on how charismatic leadership fit into the full
range model of leadership and the MLQ. About this time, Conger and Kanungo were writing
about behavioral and attributed charisma. These ideas were influencing work on the MLQ. On
Form 1, charisma and inspirational motivation were combined into one scale. In the 80-
question, eight-factor model of the MLQ 5X, charisma was separated from inspirational motiva-
tion. Additionally, charisma was split into two aspects: attributed and behavioral.21
