The 16PF personality questionnaire measures a set of 16 traits that describe and predict a person's behaviour in a variety of contexts. Interpreted by a qualified practitioner, it aims to provide comprehensive information about an individual's whole personality, revealing potential, confirming capacity to sustain performance in a larger role and helping identify development needs.
It's comprehensive
The depth and breadth of insight the 16PF can give you is especially useful for reducing the risk in recruitment and selection decisions, and for major development investments, at all levels. This really rounded view of individuals allows managers to select, develop and motivate people based on a 'full picture'.
It's objective
As an empirically based tool, the 16PF helps you to remove the subjectivity inherent in the interview or assessment process so that your selection policy is fair, and so that you get the person you really need. In development contexts, the 16PF helps individuals achieve personal insight into their own strengths, potential and career fit – now and in the future.
It's well researched
With over 50 years of research and application behind it, the 16PF has become internationally well known and respected, with over 20 different translated versions. This strong research foundation provides practitioners with confidence when using the tool with different audiences.
