(MPQ14.2)
User
Level: C
The Manchester
Personality Questionnaire (MPQ14.2) is an instrument comprised of 120
items rated on a five-point scale that takes approximately 30
minutes to complete. In its second and revised edition, the MPQ14.2 is
specifically designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of
those key personality traits that are likely to have a high impact
on work success.
The MPQ14.2 is an
occupational personality test that focuses on traits relevant to
creative and innovative behavior. Creativity is an increasingly
important factor to consider in areas such as recruitment,
training, and coaching. The MPQ14.2 is grounded in the Big Five-Factor
model of personality. The Big Five-Factor model is currently
regarded as the most valid and reliable means of assessing
personality. As a result, the MPQ14.2 is a powerful tool for
understanding an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas
of competence.
