The Work Personality Profile and Computer Report (WPP) is a standardised observer-rating assessment used to generate information that assists in identifying and obtaining a job that correlates with an individual’s interests and strengths.
The assessment uses standardised judgments about work behaviours as a basis for producing information that is specifically relevant to the goals of vocational rehabilitation. The WPP is appropriate for a variety of populations and has been most commonly used with adolescents and adults who have significant disabilities.
The WPP includes two forms: the Professional Form and the Self-Report Form, both of which have 58 items designed to assess work behaviours that are pertinent to achieving and maintaining employment. The Professional Form is completed by someone (e.g., teacher, vocational co-ordinator, vocational evaluator, rehabilitation specialist) who has observed the individual sufficiently enough to respond to statements about his or her job-related behaviour.
The individual then completes the Self-Report Form, when doing so is appropriate or possible.
The forms are scored with the WPP Computer Report based on 11 rationally derived work behaviour scales as well as 5 factor scales.
