Step 3: Administration of personality questionnaire- 16PF and report writing
As the reading text mentions details on Five factor model of personality having the most
consensus among scholars on being an effective model to assess personality. 16 –PF is a
personality tool that is based on the five factor model.
This step requires you to take on the role of the assessor and the job applicant/ client. You first
have to administer TWO tests on yourself as a client or job applicant, copy paste your results on
the word document, evaluate your results and prepare a written report on it.
A sample report of Orpheus Business Personality Inventory (OBPI) is attached with the
assignment to help you understand how an assessment report is written. Based on the results
you get from 16 PF and IPIP Big Five Factor, prepare an assessment report for the client,
discussing the results.
