Original Question

For what situations would the CPI (California Psychological Inventory) assessment be most appropriate or applicable? Explain

(Answer Number 1) By Jaquisha

The inventory would be most useful in situations that my client needs measuring in the following areas:1) poise, self-assurance or interpersonal improvement; 2) socialization, character, or responsibility development; 3) achievement potential and intellectual growth; and 4) modes of intelligence and interest levels. This is so that if the individual is interested in improving her/his performance at work, school, or home, as has been shown in research to be an effective tool, will predict tendencies and characteristics to capture personality themes. With this information we can tap into personality factors which provide a perspective of the client’s regular performance routines to set long- and short-term goals in behavior development.

(Answer Number 2) By Christina

The California Personality Assessment can be tool for everyday life situations. In the field of career counseling, this was especially true. During the Great Depression, the CPI Assessment was used as a tool to help stimulate the economy by assessing workers into fields most needed, mainly for survival. It was also used during WWW II to help assess the skillset of workers needed to support the military . Post war the CPI Assessment turned into a tool to career-minded individual at the mid-point in their careers find fulfilment before retirement. Career Exploration is another use of appropriateness for the assessment. Before a student commits to time it’s takes to learn a trade or subject such as accounting an exploration can be done to see if that field can be a good fit. The CPI is appropriate when categorizing personalities int five major categories of Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. The CPI assessment in this case wanted to show lifespan expectancies across personalities. In this case, I can see how it would be applicable to how the generations personalities differ, however it fails to be appropriate. Another use of the CPI is how people act in social settings. The CPI measures Social Presence and Flexibility which are both key factors for normal social functioning.
