The Jackson
Personality Inventory
assesses personality variables relevant to the functioning of a
person in a wide range of settings such as those involving work,
educational/organizational behavior, or interpersonal situations.
The JPI-R's 15 scales are as follows, organized in terms of five
higher-order clusters:
Analytical: Complexity, Breadth of Interest, Innovation, Tolerance
Extroverted: Sociability, Social Confidence, Energy Level
Emotional: Empathy, Anxiety, Cooperativeness
Opportunistic: Social Astuteness, Risk Taking
Dependable: Organization, Traditional Values, Responsibility
The
statistical procedures employed in the construction of the JPI are
among the most elaborate ever employed for a personality test.
Starting with a very large item pool, two separate item analyses on
separate samples were undertaken to further three general aims: (a)
to maximize item content saturation in relation to desirability
variance; (b) to maximize scale reliabilities; and (c) to minimize
interscale redundancy.
Data
on JPI validity include analyses of two multitrait, multi-method
matrices employing adjective checklist, self rating, and peer
ratings.
