Which quadrant describes a crew member with High Ability (Can Do) and High Attitude (Will Do)?

• A. Quadrant One: High Ability (Can Do) and High Attitude (Will Do)
• B. Quadrant Two: Low Ability (Can't Do) and High Attitude (Will Do)
• C. Quadrant Three: High Ability (Can Do) and Low Attitude (Won't Do)
• D. Quadrant Four: Low Ability (Can't Do) and Low Attitude (Won't Do)

Answer: (A)

This item tests how ability and attitude together indicate someone’s potential and fit for key tasks. When a crew member shows both high ability (they can do the work effectively) and high attitude (they want to do it, stay engaged, and take initiative), they are capable of performing independently, maintaining quality under pressure, and often guiding others. They require minimal supervision and can take on challenging assignments with confidence, making them the most reliable and impactful for mission-critical roles. In contrast, someone with high ability but low attitude may perform well when watched but struggle to stay motivated or take ownership without direction. A person with low ability but high attitude is enthusiastic and trainable, but needs development to reach effectiveness. Low ability and low attitude combines limited skills with little drive, which makes consistent, competent performance unlikely.
