The Wal-Mart Tactical Leadership Assessment (TLA) is an exam given to those angling for a leadership position in one of Wal-Mart's more than 8,500 stores worldwide. It is one of two supervisory assessment tests, the other one being the Supervisory Leadership Assessment. Like any other standardized assessment, there are right answers and wrong ones. There is no study guide for these tests; however, they evaluate your leadership potential based on your attitude toward competition. At the end of the test, you will be given a "competitive" or "noncompetitive" status.
