Scoring a Five Factor Profile
Captions available
The idea
Scoring a trait profile means converting item responses to dimension scores, comparing them to norms, and stating what the profile does and does not predict.
In practice
One completed inventory scored end to end: raw responses summed by dimension, each dimension placed against norms, the profile read as five positions rather than a type, three defensible predictions drawn from it, and two claims rejected — one because it treats a dimension as a category and one because it is a Barnum statement that would fit anyone.
