INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

C.P.F. (Ability to Work With People)

C.P.F. measures the candidate's desire for daily people contact on-the-job. A person who scores in the average range prefers a job with an equal mix of people contact and administrative work. A superior score is 29 or higher. Therefore with a score of 20, this candidate displayed a high average desire for people contact.

N.P.F. (Emotional Stability)

N.P.F. measures a person's emotional stability, responsibility and resistance to stress. This candidate exhibited low average emotional stability with a score of 15 as opposed to a superior score of 29 or higher. Groups constituted by persons of high average stability, or more, generally make strong teams, trusting one another and free from manifestation of panic and low morale.

16 P.F. (5th Edition)

Mr. Smith appears to be a reserved individual, who may be cautious about forming personal attachments. However, he prefers working in teams, and may not be at his best in situations where he must function independently, even though he is a "take charge" kind of person. This candidate tends to focus more on the practical than the abstract, and may not take the feelings of others into consideration in his decision-making.

Mr. Smith seems to be goal-oriented and self-disciplined, and will be very effective in organized and structured situations, but may find it hard to deal with the unpredictable. He can be expected to be conscientious and conform to conventional norms. He appears to possess high average reasoning skills.

Recommendation

With an overall weighted aggregate score of 66%, Mr. Smith is recommended for hire provided that further supervised training is available. He may not be as well organized as would be desirable. As well, he did not demonstrate the knowledge of simple tools and equipment that would be expected of a warehouse employee.

Mr. Smith is somewhat reserved and appears to be sufficiently self-motivated so that this will not hinder him from achieving his personal or organizational goals. Since this candidate is straightforward, and displayed little tendency to tell his superiors what they want to hear, his striving for perfection, goal attainment, discipline and independence are all very positive. If hired, he should be encouraged to be more outgoing, flexible, and attuned to the feelings of others.
