NEO PI-R Conversion Course
“Rachel's style, pitching of the material, and feedback was superb. Well worth the investment.” NEO course delegate
Aims and objectives
This popular one-day masterclass is designed to familiarise Level 2: Test User, Personality trained people experienced in personality questionnaires, other than the NEO PI-R, with the concept and scales underlying this five factor tool. The NEO PI-R is internationally recognised as the ‘gold standard’ instrument with which to measure personality. It can be used across a broad range of occupations and is particularly suited for middle to senior management assessments where a comprehensive description of temperament and behavioural style is required for informed selection, internal promotion and individual development decisions.
On successful completion of the course, delegates are certified to purchase and use the NEO family of tests.
About the NEO Personality Inventory
The NEO PI-R is a detailed measure of business-related personality traits describing personality across five broad domains and thirty underlying facets. The 240-item questionnaire is available in software/online format, where users can access the results as an automatically-produced, detailed narrative report. A paper and pencil version NEO PI-R is available.
The high amount of detail gained from the questionnaire provides a platform for substantial investigation into an individual’s behavioural style and temperament. The five broad domains measured are Extraversion; Negative Emotion; Openness to Experience; Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. The five-factor model delivers informed data applicable to working style, leadership style, team style, training needs, conflict resolution, decision-making style and stress management.
For situations where a shorter version of the NEO PI-R is required, the NEO FFI is available. This consists of 60 items and provides information on the five major domains. Where information for team development is required, the NEO 4 is recommended. In this version the Neuroticism domain has been removed since it may cause participants to be less willing to discuss their profiles with each other.
