16pf personality test

16pf is a personality test which can be used for selection, development, coaching and identifying potential.  16pf competency profiles help identify the best person/job fit.

16pf measures an individual’s whole personality and is very effective for predicting performance and behaviour. It can be taken online.

16pf and competencies

The 16pf can be used to predict performance against competencies - the factors critical to success in a specific role.

16pf for leadership development

As part of a leadership development or executive coaching programme, the 16pf provides powerful insights for personal development.

16pf for recruitment and selection

16pf helps to remove subjectivity from the recruitment and selection process so that you reduce risk and get the person you really need.

Interviews can help managers gain information about experience and knowledge while other techniques, such as simulations, can shed light on skills. But accurate data about personality – what’s under the surface – is what really predicts performance and staying power.

The 16pf provides a comprehensive measure of an individual’s whole personality, not just the traits they may choose to display at interview.

16pf for identifying potential

In the hands of a trained practitioner, the 16pf identifies strengths, untapped potential, career fit and areas for further development.  It enables informed decisions to be made about an individual's capacity to perform in a larger role.

16pf provides insights when restructuring

The 16pf helps match people to roles during restructuring programmes.  It does this by revealing hidden potential and mapping individuals against the competencies required for each role.

16pf for a much more rounded view

The 16pf provides a more rounded view of individuals than other similar tools, enabling managers to select, develop and motivate people based on this ‘full picture’. 

The 16pf measures five global factors which relate directly to the widely-used Big Five model:

  • relating to others
  • influence and collaboration
  • thinking style
  • structure and flexibility
  • management of pressure

Each of the global factors contains a subset of the 16 personality factors which include:

  • warmth
  • reasoning
  • emotional stability
  • dominance
  • liveliness
  • rule-consciousness
  • social boldness
  • sensitivity
  • vigilance
  • abstractedness
  • privateness
  • apprehension
  • openness to change
  • self-reliance
  • perfectionism
  • tension

The 16pf was developed by Raymond B. Cattell  and now has over 50 years of research and application behind it.  It is the original tool from the Big Five school of thought and is internationally respected as the world’s most extensively validated trait-based instrument.
