Product Description

The BIP-6F is a self-report measure that takes just 10 to 15 minutes to complete, making it well-suited for use in selection and development contexts. The assessment looks at the six factors of Ambition, Discipline, Social Competence, Cooperation, Dominance, and Stability, measured via a 42-item questionnaire. In contrast to many other assessments of personality, the BIP-6F has a distinct professional focus: only professionally relevant personality traits are included and all of the items in the questionnaire have a business focus.

Validated against the NEO-FFI-3 (NEO-Five Factor Inventory-3), the BIP-6F can provide valuable diagnostic information where individual description or assessment of personality traits in the workplace is important.

Test Validity

The model tested using CFA (confirmatory factor analysis) demonstrated a satisfactory fit to the data for the BIP-6F scales and results strongly support the theoretical structure.

Norms

Standardization was completed on census-matching working population in the US (n=998) and the UK (n=567) and a combined US/UK management population norm (n=317) is also available. If a comparison for a non-native English speaker is desired, there are also norms for a Bilingual working population (n=1,309) and a Bilingual management population (n=436).
