360-Degree Feedback Questionnaire: Examples, Template and Process [2026]
A 360-degree feedback questionnaire you can use as-is: 10 example questions, a free template, rater selection, anonymity thresholds and AI-assisted analysis.
15 questions evaluated from 4 perspectives: self-assessment, manager, peers, and direct reports. AI compares self-ratings with others to reveal blind spots, synthesizes all feedback into a unified narrative, and generates a prioritized development plan per person.

Collecting evaluations from multiple perspectives to reduce individual bias and increase accuracy. Multi-source feedback is 2x more predictive of actual performance than manager-only reviews.
90-degree: direct reports rate manager only (upward feedback). 180-degree: self-assessment + upward feedback. 270-degree: adds peer feedback. 360-degree: adds manager feedback for the complete picture. Each level adds a perspective and increases accuracy.

I've analyzed the results and summarized the key themes — with actionable recommendations for your team.
360-degree feedback, also called multi-rater feedback or multi-source assessment, collects performance evaluations from all directions: self-assessment, manager (top-down), peers (lateral), and direct reports (bottom-up). This multi-perspective approach eliminates single-rater bias and provides a comprehensive view of competencies.
90% of Fortune 500 companies use some form of 360 feedback for leadership development. The key insight is the self-other gap: where your self-assessment differs significantly from how others perceive you. These blind spots are invisible without multi-rater data. Our template uses 15 questions across 5 competency dimensions, and AI synthesizes all perspectives into a unified development report highlighting strengths, blind spots, and priority growth areas.

AI compares self-assessment with peer, manager, and direct report ratings to create a unified narrative per person. It highlights the most impactful development areas with specific behavioral recommendations, not just numbers.
90% of Fortune 500 companies use 360 feedback for leadership development. Organizations see 14.9% average performance improvement (SHRM).
Peer and direct report responses are anonymized (minimum 3 raters per group) to ensure psychological safety and honest feedback. Self-assessment and manager ratings are attributed since they are single-source. GDPR-compliant.
Anonymous peer ratings produce 40% more actionable feedback than attributed ratings.
15 LIKERT-scale questions across 5 competency dimensions. Each question is answered from 4 perspectives: self-assessment, manager, peers (3+), and direct reports (3+). AI compares all perspectives to reveal blind spots and strengths.
This person provides clear direction and guidance.
Direction-setting is the foundational leadership competency that enables all others. Large self-other gaps here indicate managers who think they are clear but are perceived as ambiguous.
This person inspires and motivates others.
Inspiration is the leadership competency with the largest typical self-other gap. Most leaders rate themselves higher than peers do, making this a common blind spot.
This person makes well-considered decisions.
Decision quality is best assessed by those who live with the consequences. Peers and direct reports see decision impact that managers above may not notice.
This person communicates clearly and effectively.
Communication clarity is the #1 competency gap identified in 360 reviews globally. The multi-perspective view shows whether communication works equally well up, down, and across.
This person actively listens and considers others' viewpoints.
Active listening is perceived very differently depending on the rater relationship. Managers often rate this higher than direct reports do, revealing a power-dynamic blind spot.
This person shares information openly and transparently.
Information sharing is a trust indicator. Low scores from peers combined with high scores from the manager above suggest selective transparency, a common organizational pattern.
This person collaborates effectively with colleagues.
Collaboration quality is best measured by peers who experience it firsthand. Self-ratings on collaboration are typically the most inflated across all 360 competencies.
This person builds strong working relationships across teams.
Cross-team relationship building reveals whether someone is a connector or a silo operator. Peer ratings are the most reliable source for this competency.
This person supports and develops team members.
Development support is the competency where direct report ratings matter most. Managers and peers cannot see how well someone develops their team from the outside.
This person approaches problems analytically and creatively.
Problem-solving style is perceived differently by different raters. Managers may see the final solution; peers see the process. Both perspectives together reveal the full picture.
This person remains effective under pressure.
Pressure performance is a classic blind spot. Self-ratings tend to be higher ('I handle it well'), while peers and direct reports see the stress-driven behavior changes that the person themselves may not notice.
This person adapts well to changing circumstances.
Adaptability assessment varies significantly by perspective. Direct reports see how change affects their daily work; peers see how it affects collaboration; managers see strategic response quality.
This person takes responsibility for their results.
Accountability is the strongest predictor of leadership effectiveness in peer ratings. Self-ratings on accountability are nearly always high; the peer and direct report perspective reveals the reality.
This person follows through on commitments reliably.
Follow-through reliability is where 360 feedback adds the most value. Managers may not see missed commitments to peers or direct reports. Cross-perspective data reveals the full reliability picture.
This person holds themselves and others to high standards.
Standards enforcement is perceived very differently from above versus below. A manager may see high standards
; direct reports may experience it as unrealistic expectations.
The 360 perspective gap here is highly actionable.
Each subject gets rated by self + manager + 3 or more peers + 3 or more direct reports. Allow 2-3 weeks for completion. The more raters, the more reliable the aggregated scores.
AI compares self-ratings with the average of all other ratings per competency. Large positive gaps (self higher than others) reveal blind spots. Large negative gaps (self lower than others) reveal hidden strengths that need confidence building.
AI combines all perspectives into a unified development report per person: strengths confirmed across all raters, blind spots where perspectives diverge, and priority areas with the highest improvement potential.
Focus on 1-2 high-impact blind spots. Schedule a follow-up 360 in 6-12 months to measure growth. Share organizational patterns across all participants to normalize the feedback culture.
