Put a circle around the appropriate response.
• Does the Factor/Domain have a heading that gives the score and the range this falls into?
• Are these scores accurately categorised?
• Are the scores presented as standardised T scores, not raw scores?
• Is the consultant comment/client reply clearly differentiated?
• Has the consultant correctly interpreted the client’s personality according to the range it falls into?
o Average – a blend of attributes, a mixed style, much like most people – situational influences will impact on responses to the environment
o Low or high average – a blend of attributes, generally a mixed style but a tendency towards one way of thinking and acting compared to most people – situational influences will be seen in the client’s response to the environment but there will be a general preference for one alternative in terms of style
o Outside average range – a distinct preference and style of personality will be seen. Either one bipolar alternative or the other will be likely to pervade behaviour regardless of situational influences. Where the score is well outside the average range this factor of personality will be a dominant aspect of the personality and this should be reflected in the profile.
PROFILES
• Has the consultant explained what the scores mean in terms of the client’s predicted behaviour, rather than just giving their score and category?
• Does the profile mention how the client would relate to workplace or job-related issues?
• Has the consultant used ‘qualifiers’ in the statements to the client particularly where the client is in the average range?
• Has the consultant avoided telling the client that they will exhibit actual behaviours?
• Has the consultant pointed out the strengths of the client’s score first, as much as possible?
