Creative and additional options for change and development
The test modules of the PSI-Personality Analysis focus on different levels of personality. Thus, pivotal points for changes in the area of developmental tasks can lie in extreme personality styles and disorders or in the area of self-management and motivation, but never exclusively on the symptom level. Changes cannot be set in motion and controlled on the content level. For this reason, it is worth taking a look at the functional level in order to design tailor-made training offers.
SSI means self-management inventory. It was developed 20 years ago in the health sector and has an extensive validation and research history. This test module is change-sensitive and very well applicable for the evaluation of development methods. Self-management is the basis for self-development and stress resilience. The recorded self-management competencies include, for example volitional facilitation, planning ability, self-motivation, self-relaxation, self-access.
The HAKEMP was the first questionnaire developed by Prof. Kuhl in the 1980s. He discovered individual differences in the way people remained able to act or not despite stress. The opposite of action orientation is situative orientation. In this state, people tend to be continually occupied with their situation, e.g. by brooding, hesitating or dithering. HAKEMP covers two types of action or situative orientation: First, the prospective action/ situative orientation is recorded when implemented in difficult objectives under stress. Secondly, the action/ situative orientation is illustrated after failure.
MUT means motive implementation test. MUT captures conscious motives as well as motive implementation styles for the motive areas of connection/relationship, performance, power and freedom/self-development. There are ideal implementation profiles for each motive area. Even slight corrections in attitude, e.g. as a result of feedback, can cause major changes, e.g. motives can be implemented with greater ease.
OMT stands for Operanter Multi-Motive-Test, which depicts unconscious motives and their implementation modes. The OMT was developed in the tradition of projective tests such as the TAT (Murray, 1943); in contrast, it is more economical in its implementation and more standardized in its evaluation. The OMT cannot be evaluated automatically, but always requires the interpretation of trained advisors. The OMT evaluators all come from the university environment of IMPART and are continuously supervised and trained to achieve good evaluation results. Since motives are normally not consciously presented, but represent unconscious power sources of the person, making the motives conscious with the help of this test module is particularly valuable. By comparison with MUT, motive discrepancies which can be the cause of an inner imbalance can be detected.
PSSI means personality style and fault inventory. It was published by Kuhl & Kazén on Hogrefe in 1997. Based on a cooperation agreement with the publisher, IMPART customers are entitled to use the PSSI. The PSSI was originally developed for clinical use but is standardised for the normal population. Personality disorders are extreme personal styles. It is important to recognise these, because developmental tasks arise from these findings, which can be the subject of training and consultation. The more extreme the style, the more demanding the development task and the more difficult it is to change something. The SEKS (Stress Induced Emotional and Cognitive Styles) is an analogous test for the initial reactions, but it aims at the personal development of the individual.
