Reading the CLEP chart
|
|
The CLEP chart is an abbreviated method of reading your basic personality. Upon becoming
acquainted with its format, the HR manager can quickly examine the CLEP chart of any applicant or employee and instantly know who he/she is speaking to... without needing to read the rest of the report.
The CLEP chart (in the registered versions) appears on a one-page STAT summary, providing a very
powerful tool which allows you to quickly understand the personality parameters of the respondent. As a manager, you retain the STAT sheet and hand the four remaining pages to the respondent. This allows him/her to feel at-ease with you because you openly present the full report, while allowing you a few seconds to quickly scan and examine the STAT sheet while they're reading.
Each characteristic in the CLEP chart is measured on a scale from 1-4, with 4 being very prominent
and 1 being less prominent.
So, for example, a CLEP chart which reads:
c1 L2 e1 U2
would indicate a LEADER (level 2-- moderate) who has an URGENT nature (likes to get things done).
Less strong traits are Conformity (goes by the book) and Externalism (enjoys talking with and being around people). The above sample CLEP chart shows what is commonly referred to as a "management profile" in a company where rules must be followed.
Just as each personality can be represented with the CLEP chart... so too can each JOB. In
addition to being present on the basic evaluation report, the CLEP chart is also used in the JOB MATCH system to help match people to the right jobs. The better the match between the Personality CLEP chart and the Job CLEP chart, the more closely the personality fits the job!
As a registered user of one of the advanced versions of PEP... once you become acquainted with the
CLEP chart and the concepts behind it, you will be very proficient at reading the personality matrix of any person in just a few seconds. This makes the Personality Evaluation Program a very powerful tool in the Human Resource environment! |
