Personality Assessment
Validity Scales
The 15FQ+ contains a number of measures that examine the way in which the respondent has approached the questionnaire. The results appear to suggest that there may be an element of randomness in the completion of the questionnaire. This could be accounted for by a deliberate strategy on Bob Gomez's part not to cooperate with the assessment process or simply a lack of attentiveness and diligence in completing the questionnaire. Before proceeding to interpret this questionnaire, it would be necessary to verify this.
Interpersonal Style
Bob Gomez's interpersonal style is very introverted. That is, his attention and energies will be oriented towards things rather than people. His relative inhibition with people will make him appear to lack self-confidence and expressiveness in social situations. People may find it quite difficult to get close to him. His tendency to withdraw from social interaction may be interpreted as cool disinterest and a lack of interpersonal warmth. As a consequence he may be regarded as unsympathetic, distant and aloof. This is probably more of a reflection of him being in his element when working alone with relatively little personal contact. He simply derives his satisfaction from solitary activities rather than those activities that require a great deal of interpersonal contact. However, this is more a reflection of his social anxiety and lack of ease in social settings. On his own, engaged in solitary pastimes, he will not feel threatened. Tending not to let go in social settings, his reaction to situations will generally be fairly sober and serious. He may possibly come across as a little stiff and perhaps slightly lacking in spontaneity. Unexpected events, or rapidly changing situations, may make him disgruntled. In the right setting however, he should be capable of a fair degree of enthusiasm. Being relatively retiring and rather self-conscious, he may wish to avoid high-profile participation in social gatherings. He may experience a degree of embarrassment if unexpectedly made the focus of group attention. Outside familiar circles, he may come across as slightly inhibited and formal, his conversation appearing somewhat hesitant. He is a quite self-reliant individual who generally prefers to work on his own. Not having a great need for group contact or support, he will avoid unnecessary group distractions. He is likely to view most group discussions and team work as a waste of time. He may be seen as very reclusive and out-of-touch with public opinion. Somewhat questioning in nature, people may see him as being sceptical and cynical. Showing little concern for others' sensibilities, people may take time to warm to him. Bob Gomez has a relatively cynical and questioning nature, tending to often suspect the underlying motives behind the things people say or do. Overly inclined to be critical, he is however unlikely to be excessively rigid or opinionated. He may be rather obstinate from time to time. He may resent being given instructions and may often do just the opposite of what he is told. He may feel that if he drops his guard, people will take advantage of him. Consequently, he is not likely to be the most popular team member. . In personal exchanges Bob Gomez maintains a balance by not being overbearing nor being too easily dominated. He will assert himself or give way as the situation demands. He is no more or less assertive than most people. He appears to be as sensitive as most people to the demands of social situations. He will generally resist saying things that could cause upset or offence.
Thinking Style
Bob Gomez is likely to come across as a somewhat intuitive person who is quite receptive to ideas and experiences. Creatively orientated, he is likely to be somewhat sensitive to the subtleties and nuances of life. Naturally curious about things he tends to go beyond the obvious. Very unconventional in his attitudes and opinions, his views are likely to be radical and very different from those of most people. This is likely to lead him to question older, established points of view and be resistant to accepting the status-quo. Being relatively abstract he is prone to go beyond what is considered customary and accepted and may come up with ideas for radical change. Motivated to find novel solutions to problems he may not, however, take to work that is too intellectually demanding. Fundamentally, he is quite aesthetically sensitive and soft-hearted with a refined sense of taste and consequently may lack a tough, hard-headed, utilitarian approach. Having a creative and artistic temperament, he will be drawn to expressive, cultural activities. Quite sentimental, and receptive to feelings, he will tend to be Page 4 of 16
Fred Gomez
moved by emotions of wonderment and awe in the face of beauty and sensational events. His inclination to be creative and relatively conceptual suggests that he may be more concerned with thoughts and concepts than practical realities and everyday matters. He will generally prefer to be involved in the generation of ideas, leaving day-to-day matters to others. A possible shortcoming is that he may be rather inattentive to detail. Having fairly low levels of self-control, Bob Gomez's behaviour and attitudes are more a function of his own personal belief system than social norms and expectations. Very free-thinking and spontaneous, he expresses scant regard for authority. Lacking in self-discipline and self-control, he may not be particularly concerned about his social standing. Not placing much value on formality and protocol, he may prefer to relate to others in an informal and casual manner. He is likely to be unimpressed by status, position or authority, preferring to judge people on their merits. However, being diplomatic and aware of the impact he may have on others, these attitudes may not always be evident. He may not relate at all well to group undertakings which discourage individualism. Manifestly rather unconstrained to some degree, he has an inclination to circumvent rules especially when it is expedient to do so. Unmindful of obligation, he might be a rather inconsistent finisher as far as the loose ends are concerned. This may be more apparent on work that he does not consider to be of great significance. Bob Gomez may prefer to have a number of ongoing commitments, but lacking a strong sense of personal obligation, is prone to put them down when they become tedious or repetitive. He is not prone to deliberation and procrastination. Tending to view things from a global perspective, he will prefer to avoid work that demands close attention to detail.
Coping Style
Bob Gomez is currently experiencing average levels of anxiety. Relatively emotionally resilient and stable in mood, he should have little difficulty facing challenges in a calm, collected manner. Generally unruffled by events, he is likely to be viewed as being dependable in a crisis. He should have sufficient energy to cope with quite demanding situations. He should generally be able to rapidly recharge his depleted energy resources after having faced demanding work schedules. Being as secure and self-assured as most, he will not normally be unduly burdened by feelings of low self-esteem or insecurity. His tendency to be relatively free of guilt feelings, coupled with his willingness to accept some personal responsibility for failure, would suggest that he is unlikely to rush into apportioning blame onto others when things go wrong. Although not inclined to experience mood swings, when under pressure Bob Gomez may become somewhat tense and agitated. When his goals are repeatedly frustrated, he may become somewhat impatient and irritable. Bob Gomez may therefore have some difficulty unwinding at the end of a particularly demanding day.

Additional Comments
The following section lists a number of points which can be inferred from Bob's assessment report. The interviewer may wish to use these as the basis for further probing during the interview or counselling discussions.
Potential Strengths
Will be inclined to question traditional beliefs and outmoded practices. Will tend to feel unrestricted by protocol and established values. Will have a tendency to be effective in situations where he has a number of ongoing commitments, where he can concentrate on the global requirements of a task. It will be difficult to pull the wool over his eyes. May be effective working independently, not needing to be constantly surrounded by people. Should be able to focus his efforts on the most important and/or rewarding projects without being deflected by remote prospects. Has the ability and inclination to look beyond the obvious. With a tendency toward the unconventional and creative, he may be effective in generating original, possibly radical, solutions to problems. Will have a tendency to be demanding on others and will expect people to take responsibility for their own short-falls.
NOTE: Very high number of infrequent responses - the respondent may not have been attentive in completing the questionnaire. He is likely to have answered the questions randomly. Check test taking attitude.
