California Psychological Inventory™ (CPI™)

The CPI is a trusted, research-based assessment that offers a deep understanding of an individual’s personality and behavioural tendencies by drawing on a comprehensive set of empirically-validated measures. Unique in its approach, the CPI describes people based on how they’re likely to be perceived by others - without requiring a full 360-degree review - and how they typically behave in interpersonal, social, and leadership situations.

These insights provide a clear picture of a person’s leadership potential and capabilities while enabling organisations and leadership development professionals to effectively identify and develop leaders at all levels.

Reports available for the CPI assessment quantify 26 personality attributes and 18 leadership characteristics, benchmarking results against those of a real-world sample of successful managers and executives. These reports act as a blueprints highlighting strengths, identifying opportunity areas and action steps, and providing a clear, ready-to-use guide for training and development.
