Pearson’s Workplace Personality Inventory (WPI) is a flexible assessment of 16 key work styles that directly tie the Department of Labor’s extensively-researched O*Net database of key traits for a wide range of jobs. Included is a fake-resistant "Unlikely Virtues" scale designed to identify individuals who provide overly favorable responses to questions. The WPI measures the personality-based factors for success in a job and predict what people might say and do in job-related contexts.
