Personality Inventory
Introduction
The
LEONARD Personality Inventory (LPI) was designed by Dr. Leonard
Yong, psychologist and retired professor at the University of
Malaya. The LPI helps to identify behavioral preferences of individuals.
The LPI is formulated based on the Five Factors Model (FFM) of
human personality. It is anchored under the Types & Traits
Theory of classical personality theories.
The
LEONARD Personality Inventory is named after the acronym Let’s
Explore our personality based on Openness, Neutral,
Analytical, Relational and Decisive behavioral
tendencies.
International Application
The
LPI has been administered to thousands of individuals from Asia,
Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
About LPI
The
LPI can identify a person’s emotional orientation and locate a
person’s preferred behavioral orientations on any of the five
following behavioral dimensions: Creative Imaginator, Neutral
Expert, Analytical Thinker, Relator and Decision-Maker. The individual’s
profile may be any of the above or a combination. Hence, the LPI
yields 24 classical personality types.
Benefits of LPI
The
primary use of the LPI is to assist individuals to develop self-awareness
with regards to their emotional strengths and weaknesses.
Research has shown that the success of corporate leaders, outstanding
entrepreneurs and individuals are not defined by their IQ’s or
their skills, but by their ability to identify, understand and
manage their emotions and use this knowledge to interact and communicate
with others.
The LPI profile will help individuals to understand and appreciate
emotional strengths and weaknesses.
