, Scenario A
1. Nature of Each Cognitive and Personality Instrument
Learning Potential Computerized Adaptive Test (LPCAT): The LPCAT is
designed to assess cognitive potential by evaluating an individual's ability to learn
and adapt to new information. It is adaptive, meaning the test adjusts its difficulty
based on the test taker's responses. This instrument is particularly useful for
predicting how well a person might learn new tasks or skills in the future, making it a
good fit for assessing candidates' potential for growth.
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III): The WAIS-III is a comprehensive
test that measures different aspects of intelligence, including verbal comprehension,
perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. It provides a broad
assessment of intellectual abilities and is often used to evaluate general cognitive
functioning. It is well-suited for understanding an individual's cognitive strengths and
weaknesses.
Fifteen Factor Questionnaire Plus (15FQ):* The 15FQ* assesses personality traits
based on fifteen factors, such as emotional stability, independence, and self-control.
It is designed to provide insights into an individual's personality profile and how it
may impact their behavior and performance in various roles. It is useful for
understanding how personality traits align with job requirements.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): The MBTI categorizes individuals into one of
sixteen personality types based on their preferences in four dichotomies (e.g.,
introversion vs. extraversion). It provides insights into personality preferences and
how they might influence behavior and interaction in the workplace. It is valuable for
understanding personality dynamics and team compatibility.
