What the OPP measures
Providing a detailed assessment of interpersonal style, thinking style and
patterns of coping with stress the personality dimensions measured by the
OPP have been selected for their occupational relevance. The test items have
been written specifically to minimise evaluative bias which, combined with
the inclusion of two distortion scales, allows selectors to be confident that
the test results provide an accurate reflection of the candidate's personality.
Advantages
Quick to administer (only 15-20 minutes) and providing a detailed personality
assessment the OPP is the ideal tool to assess how a person will typically
think, feel and interact. The GeneSys software is capable not only of administering,
scoring and norming the test but also produces a profile and an in depth
expert
narrative report on interpersonal needs, thinking style and emotions. It
also predicts team role characteristics, preferred career themes, management
and
selling styles. Consequently, the OPP is not only a powerful selection tool
but is also useful for assessing strengths and weaknesses for promotion,
career
development and training. The OPP is supported by extensive validation evidence
and has been examined for gender and race bias.
