Content

The WPI is a short personality assessment for entry-level positions. It assesses willingness to perform productively and cooperatively on the job, and avoid engaging in counterproductive work behavior.

A one-page report provides scores on the following productivity indicators and risk factors:

  • Personal Productivity Score
  • Work Effort & Persistence
  • Service & Support
  • Counterproductive Work Behavior
  • Turnover

Follow-up interview questions are also presented for candidates who receive moderate to poor scores.

Purpose

The WPI is a productivity test that helps determine whether an individual is motivated to work responsibly and productively. It assesses personality traits that promote positive client and co-worker relationships. It also helps predict whether the individual will adhere to company policies and remain on the job over time. The WPI helps maximize the return from your initial investment in an entry-level job candidate.
