Inwald Personality Inventory
The Inwald Personality Inventory measures antisocial behavior patterns and psychopathology. It is used as a conditional-offer selection tool to screen applicants for high-risk positions.
The IPI® contains several distinct and sometimes overlapping scales, designed to measure behaviors, attitudes, and characteristics of individual applicants. In addition, it documents combinations and patterns of historical life events which studies suggest correlate significantly with occupational failure in law enforcement.
In the Public Safety sector, the IPI can be administered at the pre-employment level as a conditional offer assessment, or to employees who have been on the job for less than six months.
The IPI scales measure both personality characteristics and behavior patterns. The scales can differentiate between individuals who express socially deviant attitudes and those who act on them.
Key Scales
- Guardedness
- Acting-Out Behavior Measures (Alcohol; Drugs; Driving Violations; Job Difficulties; Trouble with Law & Society; and Absence Abuse)
- Attitudes and Temperament (Substance Abuse; Antisocial Attitudes; Hyperactivity; Rigid Type; and Type "A")
- Internalized Conflict Measures (Illness Concerns; Treatment Programs; Anxiety; Phobic Personality; Obsessive Personality; Depression; Loner Type; and Unusual Experiences/Thoughts)
- Interpersonal Conflict Measures (Lack of Assertiveness; Interpersonal Difficulties; Undue Suspiciousness; Family Conflicts; Sexual Concerns; and Spouse/Mate Conflicts)
