It takes about 4560 minutes to complete.CPI RELIABILITYDespite the CPI'sdichotomousresponse format, the reliabilities were uniformly high and held up well in both validation samples, averaging .85 in the scale development sample, .84 in the student validation sample, and even .83 in the much older community validation sample.CPI STRENGTHprovides good coverage of information for the general population as compared to tests that are more pathologically oriented.generally straightforward and easily understood scale names, which makes it more user friendly for untrained professionals and test takersinterpretation of the results may have more immediacy and relevancy to the test takers because the results relate to ongoing aspects of behaviors.CPI WEAKNESSESCPI was not designed to predict unidimensional traitsSome Folk Concepts scales are substantially correlated with one another as they may be associated to the same underlying traitslack of theoretical justificationAPPLICATIONPsychological and physical healthHigh school and college achievementEffectiveness of students teachersEffectiveness of police and military personnelLeadership and management success.
