The OBPI provides unparalleled measurement of an individual’s personality and integrity traits and reveals in detail their current preferences and attitudes towards aspects of the workplace.
Developed by the highly regarded psychometrician and the only Professor of Psychometrics in the UK, Professor John Rust, the OBPI is the most versatile personality profiling tool available in the market today. Statistically robust and defensible, the test com-bines a workplace version of the well-established Big Five personality scales with seven additional integrity scales. This comprehen-sive coverage of constructs results in very rich and sophisticated narrative reports, with immediate results for both respondents and administrators.
The OBPI is perfectly suited to use in a wide range of occupational scenarios and can be delivered online to cohorts of any size. Altogether, these features make the OBPI an incredibly powerful and cost-effective tool to help inform an organisation about its people.
