What Is the SLCP Questionnaire?
The Sales & Leadership Career Profile (SLCP) is the initial screening stage for State Farm agents. Through its 131 questions, the SLCP assessments measures 13 behavioral traits that are related to success in sales and leadership (see in the Scoring section).
In addition, the test includes several biodata sections, e.g., your job experience, financial state, and connectedness in the community.
The test is taken on State Farm’s RPX system (see more information on the Test Invitation section).
Test Structure and Question Format
The SLCP Questionnaire contains a total of 131 questions, divided into 8 sections:
- Statements (51 questions)
- Adjectives (21 questions)
- Background (17 questions) employment history, education, current job
- Recruiting (8 questions)
- Financial Situation (9 questions)
- Career Familiarity (5 questions)
- Work Preferences, Goals and Motivations (14 questions)
- Social Involvement (6 questions)
Let’s review each section in detail:
Section #1 – Statements
This is the largest portion of the assessment, with 51 statements. You should choose, on a scale of 1-5, how well each statement describes you.
Section #2 – Adjectives
This section contains 21 adjectives. Again, you need to choose how well each adjective describes you, this time on a scale of 1-7.
The Free Practice section provides sample questions and answers that focus on the Statements and Adjectives sections – the sections that have the largest impact on your score.

Section #8 – Social Involvement
The 6 questions on the last section of the assessment measure your sociability and involvement in the community you live in.
