15FQ+
15 Factor Questionnaire Plus
A comprehensive occupational personality assessment designed for professionals, managers and executives — grounded in contemporary research and preserving the scope of Cattell's original 16 personality factors.
The Building Blocks of Personality
The 15FQ+ provides insight into core personality traits, behavioural patterns and work-related preferences. It measures the fundamental building blocks of personality — how people typically think, feel and interact in ways that may be productive or counter-productive for your organisation.
Grounded in contemporary research, the 15FQ+ preserves the comprehensive scope of the original 16 personality factors first identified by Raymond B. Cattell, while offering modern psychometric rigour and practical workplace relevance.
