  • Personality inventories

Background:

  • The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) is a tool used to measure self-actualization.
  • Accurate scoring is crucial for reliable interpretation of POI results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze errors in the Personal Orientation Inventory Manual.
  • To assess the impact of these errors on the calculation of key POI ratios.

Main Methods:

  • Manual review of the Personal Orientation Inventory scoring procedures.
  • Comparison of calculated scores with expected values.
  • Analysis of discrepancies related to unanswered items.

Main Results:

  • Identified errors in the calculation of time ratio and support ratio scores.

  • Some errors are minor, while others significantly affect classifications of self-actualization.
  • Unanswered questions partially explain discrepancies but not the total difference.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Personal Orientation Inventory Manual contains significant scoring errors.
    • These errors compromise the validity of self-actualization classifications.
    • The source of all inconsistencies remains undetermined and warrants further research.
