this site has a 35 question assertiveness test to determine how good your assertiveness skills are. you have to pay to get their full report, but they do tell you how you score in terms of your ability to speak for yourself.
Assertiveness Test
for an example, here's my results:
Assertiveness Test
When we’re babies, vulnerable and unable to defend ourselves from the dangers of the world, it’s our parents who protect us. Slowly, with time, experience and the right guidance, we learn to stand on our own two feet, both literally and in another very important way - we learn to look out for ourselves. We begin to realize that we have some power over what happens to us and that if we don’t speak up for our personal rights, it’s very rare that someone else will.
Snapshot Report
Ability to speak for self
63 (out of 100)
You seldom hesitate to address the issues that concern you the most. Whether it’s noisy neighbors or a raise you feel you deserve, you’ll immediately bring it to attention. You express yourself quite freely, asserting your personal rights with the confidence that your request is reasonable. As a typically self-assured individual, you are fairly comfortable with letting others know you disagree with them, especially when you feel you’re being treated poorly. This approach shows that you feel you deserve respect, and want others to treat you this way.
