Hello Austin,

The gold standard for strength testing is isokinetic dynamometry (for example: Biodex dynamometer). If you are unable to have one at your disposal, a much cheaper and easier alternative is the assessment of hand grip strength via hand dynamometry. It has been shown that there is a correlation between isometric hand grip strength and isometric knee extension strength in healthy subjects.

You might want to take a look at the following articles:

Bohannon RW, Magasi SR, Bubela DJ, Wang Y-C, Gershon RC. Grip and knee extension muscle strength reflect a common construct among adults. Muscle Nerve 2012: 46 (4): 555-558.

Stark T, Walker B, Phillips JK, Fejer R, Beck R. Hand-held dynamometry correlation with the gold standard isokinetic dynamometry: a systematic review. PM & R 2011: 3 (5): 472-479.

That is a really great answer Tim. I appreciate you taking the time. Perhaps I should have been clearer though. I was referring to interpersonal strengths, trait-based strengths, and group potential metrics for groups who are working on large projects, or committee to accomplish a timely goal. I am definitely going to up-vote your answer though Tim, just for pure concise effort. Sounds like you really know your stuff. Thank you,  

Dear Austin,

That's definitely a completely different form of strength you are looking for. Sorry, can't help you with that, my expertise is limited to muscular strength.

I'd suggest to think of an alternative to the keyword "strength" because most probably you will primarily address Researchgate's sports and exercise scientists with this term. Just my two Cents. ;)

Anyways, good luck in finding an answer to your question!

Thanks for the Tip. Changed the keywords.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PERSONALITY TESTS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT IF YOU WANT TO EVALUATE YOUR POPULATION, DEPENDENT UPON, OF COURSE,  WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.

MOST POLICE DEPARTMENTS  ADMINISTER PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS FOR PRE-HIRES, AS DO SOME UNIVERSITIES.

THERE IS A TEST ON ANDROGYNY, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, I CAN GIVE YOU THE WEBSITE. ANOTHER AREA THAT YOU MAY WANT TO EXPLORE IS TYPE A VERSUS TYPE B PERSONALITIES OR TESTS ON INDIVIDUAL SELF-AWARENESS

Austin:

I had to look on RG for this one, so here's what's available:
