        LPC  questionnaire aims to measure whether and 
         individual is  task-or relationship-oriented
    LPC questionnaire comprises of 16 contrasting 
    adjectives such as- pleasant-unpleasant, efficient-
    inefficient, open-guarded, supportive-hostile)
    Describe one coworker they least enjoyed working 
    with on a scale of 1 to 8
    It can determine respondents’ basic leadership style
    If coworker is described in relatively positive terms (a 
    high LPC score), respondent is interested in good 
    personal relations with coworkers- that is, 
    relationship-oriented
    If LPC score is low, the respondent would be labeled 
    as task-oriented

                     structured the job
