Description

The Work Personality Profile generates information that assists a student to find a job that matches his/her interests and strengths. Two forms are included, one for the student and one for a professional, and includes items about job-related behavior. It is appropriate for all learners but is used most often with students with significant disabilities.

Work Personality Profile

It was difficult to find this test on the Proedinc website given and after trying a google search, found out that it is on the Proedinc website, under professional resources for occupational and physical therapists.

The sample form provided is a self-reporting form of behaviors needed in the work place and then a 4 point rating scale. There is also a Professional form for teachers, vocational specialist, etc to complete. Once both forms are completed, they are scored by the WPP Computer Report.

I think this assessment looks promising, but because I've only seen the self-reporting form, I wouldn't purchase it without knowing more. I would also like to know if there are other formats that this assessment can be given (i.e. orally administered).

This self-report assessment appears to be a good tool for use with students that have had some job shadowing or actual job experiences. Some students would need help understanding some of the terms used and how these terms apply to their particular job experience. Perhaps the examiner's manual would provide more direction and evaluation information. I am not sure from what I have seen on the web site that this would be a valuable broad-based assessment tool. Some students would benefit but I feel that most would not find this helpful.
