The following report provides information regarding Katherine Adams's results on the 16 Personality Factor

(16PF®) Questionnaire. Katherine is currently being considered for the position of Example Position.

Katherine's performance can be ranked against other candidates who have completed all the required

assessments.

Candidate Rank: 1 out of 4 candidates

The details of other candidates applying for the position can be accessed by viewing the position report,

available by clicking here.

This report is based on the results of the 16PF Questionnaire. This assessment provides insight into

Katherine's unique personality profile. Other qualities relevant to Katherine's suitability for the role may be

best understood using additional selection methods, such as additional psychological assessment, interviews

and reference checks. In making a final selection decision, Revelian recommends that all available

information about the candidate be considered.

The remainder of this report provides further information regarding Katherine's assessment results.

For further details regarding the interpretation of the results presented below, please view the following online

Report Interpretation presentation. This learning module explains how to interpret this specific section of the

report and extract additional meaning from the results presented.

Please click the media icon to view the 16PF Report Interpretation Presentation (https://app.revelian.com

/reports/16pf/).

The 16PF Questionnaire is designed to measure the personality dimensions that underlie individual

behaviour. Using a common framework that can be applied to all individuals, the 16PF Questionnaire predicts

how people are likely to behave in certain situations and interact with others.

This report firstly presents information on Katherine's response style, which is included to enhance

understanding and confirm the accuracy of her profile. Her scores on the various factors of the 16PF

Questionnaire, known as Primary Factors, are then presented. These are grouped together under five Global

Factors, which provide a useful structure in which to better understand and interpret Katherine's resulting

profile.

The table below displays the Global Factors and associated Primary Factors included in the 16PF

Questionnaire. Please note that some Primary Factors contribute to multiple Global Factors and therefore

appear more than once in the table below. The interpretation of these factors will differ slightly depending on

their associated Global Factor. Please also note that the Reasoning Factor, a Primary Factor of the 16PF

Questionnaire, is not included in this report. The Reasoning Factor is concerned with reasoning ability rather

than temperament or personality, and does not contribute to any of the Global Factors. For these reasons,

this factor has been excluded from this questionnaire.

The 16PF Questionnaire includes three scales that provide insight into Katherine's test-taking attitude and

response style. This information is important to consider when interpreting and confirming the accuracy of

Katherine's report. A brief description of these scales and her score on each are presented below.

The Impression Management scale measures the extent to which an individual has presented themselves in

an overly positive fashion. A response style that is too positive can indicate that undesirable attitudes or

tendencies have been suppressed by the candidate.

Scale Score

Impression Management Typical

Katherine's score on the Impression Management scale is within the expected range, indicating a typical

pattern of responding.

The Acquiescence scale measures the extent to which an individual has responded in agreement to most

questions, regardless of the content. An acquiescent response style indicates that an individual has tended to

respond with 'yes' or 'true' to a large number of questions rather than choosing answers based on question

content.

Scale Score

Acquiescence Typical

Katherine's score on the Acquiescence scale is within the expected range, indicating a typical pattern of

responding.

The Infrequency scale measures the extent to which an individual has responded to a large number of items

in a way that is different to most people. High scores on this scale may indicate a random or careless

response style.

Scale Score

Infrequency Typical

Katherine's score on the Infrequency scale is within the expected range, indicating a typical pattern of

responding.

After Katherine completed the 16PF Questionnaire, her scores on each factor were calculated from the

various responses she provided to the assessment questions. The scores obtained by Katherine only make

sense when they are compared to a relevant comparison group. The group used for comparison is a sample

of Australian adults who have previously completed the 16PF Questionnaire.

Each of the Global and Primary Factors are bipolar, indicating that each end of the scale (left and right side)

has a distinct definition and meaning. The 16PF Questionnaire uses a 'sten' score system (1-10 scale). The

sten score looks at how different an individual's score is from the average score in the comparison group. As

shown in the graph below, a sten score of 5 or 6 is considered to fall in the mid-range and indicates a score

similar to the majority of the comparison group. A sten score of 4 or 7 indicates an individual is likely to show

slight tendencies toward either left-side or right-side behaviours. A sten score of 1-3 or 8-10 indicates the

individual is quite different from the average and is likely to show strong and distinctive behaviour associated

with left-side or right-side scores.

Please note that there are no right or wrong answers on this assessment, and each individual's report should

be considered in relation to the specific requirements of the role. That is, behavioural characteristics that are

considered ideal for one role may not be for another. Furthermore, different individuals' profiles reflect how

they are likely to approach and perform a role differently.

Katherine's scores on the Global and Primary Factors are described in the sections below. It is important to

note that sometimes a left-side score on a Primary Factor contributes to a right-side score on a Global Factor,

and vice versa. An * is used to indicate where this occurs between the Global and Primary Factors in the

sections below.

A summary of Katherine's scores on the Global and Primary Factors is also provided in Appendix A at the

end of this report.

Katherine sees herself as someone who enjoys her own company rather than that of others, and is highly

likely to enjoy autonomy and to focus time and energy on her own activities.

She will generally prefer to cooperate with others and accommodate their wishes, rather than assert her

will.

When considering Katherine's approach to thinking, she is likely to balance an interest in theories and

concepts with a practical, logical focus.

She also tends towards a controlled and structured approach; however, she will occasionally take a more

flexible stance.

Katherine sees herself as generally calm and relaxed.

occasion, depending on the circumstance. She may say that she is as patient as most people.

Important Considerations

It is important to consider that these results are based on Katherine's description of her own personality and

behaviour, which may not necessarily reflect the way other people see her. Therefore, the accuracy of these results

is dependent on Katherine's openness in answering the questionnaire and her level of self-awareness. In addition,

the report describes Katherine's likely behavioural style, but has not assessed relevant skills or knowledge. No firm

conclusions are therefore drawn regarding her job-related abilities.

Important Considerations

As noted above, these results are dependent on Katherine's level of self-awareness and openness in answering

these questions, and represents likely behavioural preferences only. Therefore no firm conclusions can be drawn

from these results. They must be combined with other psychometric assessments, resume checks and interview

responses to make informed selection decisions.
