WHAT EXACTLY IS PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILING?

It is the process of an in-depth analysis of a person’s deep psychological characteristics and their consequences for their life.

To learn more about human nature, please check the Socio-Functional Theory of Human Nature here.

STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT

The report itself is a  “PDF” file, structured in such a way as to present in an easy-to-read language, information about the unique manifestations of each of the characteristics of human nature.

The profiling process assesses a total of 150 constructs of human nature grouped according to the psychological needs they serve, in 9 separate types:

  • Unsatisfied psychological needs
  • Susceptibility to different emotions
  • Typical patterns of thinking
  • Physiological predispositions with psychological significance
  • Levels of interpersonal sensitivity and interpersonal tendencies
  • Social skills and group mechanisms
  • Adaptive habits
  • Maladaptive (toxic) behaviors
  • Core values (beliefs, attitudes, and preferences)

This makes it a service with no equivalent on the market!

Each report we prepare carries information about the profiled person’s specific individual characteristics that are unique to him!

This gives the person a chance to identify exactly what they can do to improve their performance, satisfaction, and happiness in their lives.

Psychological Profiling

Truly knowing ourselves is probably one of the most important tasks we have in this life!

Only then can we have full control over our lives and understand why all those things are happening to us.

Moreover, only then can we understand how other people see us and why they react and act toward us in the ways they do.

Last but not least, only a fully self-aware person is able to truly satisfy his needs and therefore maintain good mental health.

There are only two to achieve such profound self-awareness…

 

  • Through a lifetime of introspection and self-analysis or…
  • Through the process of psychological profiling

  • Sessions are led by a professional psychotherapist.
Methodology, Know-How, Delivery & Instruments
  • Psychological profiling is carried out through a combination of tested and proven psychometric tools, supplemented by individual sessions to validate and confirm the results and provide feedback. The sessions are conducted by certified psychotherapists and coaches with extensive experience in individual, family, and group psychotherapy, as well as organizational consulting.

Features of our tool: SFPI-R (Socio-Functional Personality Inventory-Revised®):

  • Consists of 3 parts; Each part takes approximately 45-60 minutes to complete; Each part is available in 2 languages (English, Bulgarian).

  • Standardization: The tools are standardized based on a representative sample of over 11,000 adults (aged 18 to 69) from four continents: the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The sample includes individuals of different genders, races, professions, job levels, and social statuses.

  • Predictive validity: Between .77 and .87.

Validity refers to the accuracy of the assessment (whether it measures what it is supposed to measure). Although there are several types of validity that psychology considers, the most important for our purposes is “Predictive validity,” or the ability to predict.

It tells us how accurate the tool is in predicting a specific outcome. In the context of personality analysis, a good tool will be able to predict how the individual will perform in a specific context.

Validity is typically measured by a coefficient between 0 and 1 (called the Pearson correlation coefficient). The closer it is to one, the stronger the predictive power of the tool.

The predictive validity of our instruments (SFPI-R) is between .77 and .87 for predicting real-life outcomes in six explicitly chosen life areas:

Intimate relationships: .87 Work, career, and business: .84 Reputation management: .83 Parenthood: .81 Psychological well-being: .79 Personal development: .77

For reference, a good comparison is to look at the validity of something completely unrelated.

For example, the predictive validity of “Ibuprofen” for reducing pain is only 0.14.

For a closely related example, the correlation between structured job interviews and job performance is 0.18.

  • Reliability: SFPI-R demonstrates exceptional reliability with a test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.90, exceeding the average test-retest reliability of similar assessments by approximately 10%.
  • Standardization: SFPI-R has established norms based on a diverse sample of over 11,000 individuals, enabling accurate comparisons.
  • Normative comparisons: SFPI-R provides percentile ranks that allow individuals to compare their results with the general population and specific subgroups.
  • Psychometric characteristics: SFPI-R demonstrates strong psychometric characteristics, with factor loadings exceeding 0.6 for all measurements, surpassing the average factor loadings of similar assessments by 25%.
  • Objectivity: SFPI-R utilizes a highly standardized assessment system with minimal room for subjective bias or personal discretion.
  • Clear instructions and guidelines: SFPI-R provides clear and detailed instructions, achieving 98% comprehensibility among test-takers compared to the average 85% in other assessments.
  • Accessibility: SFPI-R is available in two languages, catering to a global audience and ensuring accessibility for diverse populations.
  • Ethical guidelines: SFPI-R strictly adheres to ethical guidelines, guaranteeing confidentiality and personal integrity.
  • Coverage of constructs: SFPI-R covers a wide range of aspects of human nature, including 150 specific facets (constructs). It provides a more comprehensive assessment compared to all available commercial and free tools on the market.
  • Standardized assessment and interpretation: SFPI-R employs a standardized assessment process, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Its interpretive guidelines achieve a 90% consensus among practitioners, exceeding other assessments by 15%.
  • Feedback from the test: SFPI-R generates detailed personalized reports, offering in-depth analysis and practical recommendations. Test-takers report a satisfaction level of 95% regarding the clarity and usefulness of the feedback, surpassing other assessments by over 20%.
  • Scientific support: SFPI-R is built on the foundation of The Socio-Functional Theory of Human Nature. It is supported by a meta-analysis of several longitudinal studies (15+ years) involving over 20,000 individuals across four continents (North and South America, Europe, and Asia). These studies provide comprehensive information on the relationship between individual characteristics and the consequences of their lives.
  • Continuous improvement: SFPI-R undergoes regular updates based on feedback from practitioners and users, as well as norm updates, ensuring its continuous development.
