Our desk-top computer applications are designed to allow you the freedom to assess clients on-screen, produce reports and get down to what you do best with the minimum time spent writing laborous reports.
Based on the 16 Personality Factors Inventory (16PF), this product takes test responses and processes them into the 16 scales and 8 high order factors and then uses these data to generate comprehensive reports. Rather than describe the range of reports in any depth, samples are available from the links to the right of this page.
It was designed to both mark and report on the South African forms of the 16PF inclusing the oldest form A, Form E for elementary language users, and more recently, the SA92. Other forms of the test can be resolved to reports by entering their sten scores, an option that was introduced for users abroad.
The system may be downloaded from the internet and will install on your machine with a three day trial license if you have not downloaded it before. During this time put in as many form SA92 or old form A tests as you can and see how the reports work for you.
FormSA92 test booklets have been available to date from Jopie van Rooyen and Associates who hold the distribution rights for the 16PF in South Africa. We are unable to assist in this regard and it is suggested that you obtain the 5th Edition Questionnaire and answer sheets from JvR and Associates and enter stens into the system to obtain reports.
REPORTING
STRATEGY
The two major
reports produced by this interpretative schema of the 16PF are
contained in the clinical and vocational modules of the system. These
are quite different as their application suggests and approach the test
results in an application specific manner.
The clinical report follows the general lines suggested in Heather Cattell's reference work on the 16PF and extracts the major indicators of decompensation and then balances them against three major stabilising factors. In this way, any pathological trends in a profile are effectively identified. This report also comments on common personality disorders and makes some general suggestions on potential therapeutic process.
The vocational report, instead of following the commonly adopted "big five" approach, explores interpersonal factors, locus of control and emotional stability and focuses attention on the effect these may have on work behaviour. The respondent's suitability for employment in several broad occupational classes and health risk factors (both plysical and emotional) are also highlighted. Suitability for training in formal class-room settings and the on-the-job method are analysed and training suggestions are offered.»

FEATURES
Reports contain explanatory graphics that are encoded into the RTF format so that they are saved along with the report and also exported for editing in word processor packages. Sections of the reports may also be cut and pasted into other composite reports along with their internal graphics. In addition, the special primary and secondary displays may be copied and included in reports.
A special feature allows reports to be attached to email messages and thus sent by electroic mail. •
