Integrated Reporting in Multidimensional Personality Questionnaires

In individual applications, in which the client is the primary audience for the outcome of a personality assessment, integrated reporting is needed in communicating the result. With multidimensional questionnaires, the usual reporting in terms of a profile of separate scale scores is insufficient from that communicative point of view. We present a procedure for finding integral characterizations, consisting of a set of markers for the rotated factor defined by the individual's score vector. For illustrations, we refer to the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI-III; see Hendriks et al., 2019).
