California Psychological Inventory 260 Reflection a truthful (true- to life) and a useful picture can be formed of the person taking the test” (Gough & Bradley, 1996, p. 1). A short form of CPI 430, CPI 260 was designed for use with business and career assessment. It is highly correlated with the CPI 430 and uses many of the same items. Additionally, the CPI 260 also uses the same scales as the CPI 430, although several scales have been renamed. There are three vector scales, four lifestyle types (each tester is placed into one of four types), 20 popular scales, and seven work-related measures (Gough and Bradley, 1996; Groth-Marnat, 2009). The 20 popular scales are grouped into four theoretically related categories: relationships with others, self-management, motivations and thinking style, and personal characteristics (Groth-Marnat, 2009). As a whole, the CPI 260 assessment presents a fairly complete picture of the examinee.InterpretationThe interpretation of this instrument can be quite complex and involves several steps. In this article, my lifestyle score and vector scale scores will be discussed. Second, I will talk about my results on the Folk scale. Finally, I will explain my results on special purpose scales. Lifestyle and Vector Scales According to my results, I fall into the Implementer, or Alpha, quadrant. This indicates that I tend to be extroverted, socially involved, and a leader rather than introverted and private (Gough and Bradley, 1996; Groth-Marnat, 2009). However, I disagree with this description as I am quite an introvert...... middle of article......The CPI 260 gave me some interesting insights about myself. First of all, it told me that I was extroverted, a conclusion with which I disagree. However, I may be more extroverted in some situations than others. Second, I discovered the factors in which I am strong and the areas in which I need to improve. Finally, the work-related metrics showed me that I could work well in law enforcement, something I had never considered before. These results will help me develop as a person and as a counselor.
