CSI - The CareerStyles Inventory

This comprehensive assessment is specifically designed to measure personality-like influences on behavior in the workplace. Not a broad-brush "personality" test, the CSI avoids potential legal pitfalls that can result from asking questions which are personal, intrusive or not clearly related to employment situations. All questions focus on work-related preferences and provide straightforward, "need to know" information to help employers and individuals make important career development decisions.

The CSI consists of 394 questions that can be answered True or False (additional "in-between" response choices also are provided). Results are reported as 34 separate scales grouped into five behavior-based categories: Interpersonal Style, Learning Style, Work Orientation, Decision Making Style, and Stress/Frustration Management, plus scales to gauge attitudes toward the questionnaire itself.

Who should take the CSI?:

  • Team leaders/members - when cooperation and consistency of purpose are critical

  • Key management personnel - to ensure proper "fit" with corporate style and policies

  • Business partners - to help gauge compatibility, minimize areas of conflict and achieve effective division of labor

  • Hiring managers - to codify personal/departmental expectations and provide a benchmark for evaluating new employees

  • Individuals - to help identify desirable career settings and uncover potential obstacles to productivity

CSI Features:

  • Easy to complete - questions are short and all can be answered True or False

  • Easy to interpret - no "too high" or "too low" scores, only strength of preference

  • Legally defensible - results are based on personal self-report, not inferences drawn from abstract or irrelevant questions

  • Comprehensive - 34 scales cover a wide range of work-related preferences applicable to many employment settings

  • Part of the ROSE PsychScore suite of computer-scored assessments
