Agreeableness
● The Agreeableness scale offers an insight into which style an individual tends to apply in their interpersonal relationships
![Page 13: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Agreeableness
● A person’s social style is characterized by the extent to which the person feels trust in human nature, assuming that humans are good in general. This fundamental trust affects the interaction with others, through verbal communication and body language, and creates the foundation for the extent to which one radiates consideration, affection and warmth toward others

Content/Construct Validity

Low Scores
● People with low scores on the Agreeableness scale are more reserved, cautious and skeptical against their environment and are bound to adopt a more critical approach.
![Page 20: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
High Scores
● People with high scores on the Agreeableness scale have a basic trust in other people. They are altruistic, caring, attentive and care about what others think and feel.
![Page 21: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prediction
● The fact that a method (a test, an interview, an Assessment Centre-exercise and so on) is able to provide a comprehensive and/or detailed description of an individual’s personality may be relevant, but this should not be confused with, and it should not automatically be assumed, that the method has a predictive validity
![Page 22: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IMPORTANT EFPA review model
● No requirements for test users
![Page 23: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Validity for test, and test user
● Validity is ultimately about reaching the ”right” decisions based on a given amount of information
![Page 24: International standards on psychological assessmentpsychometrics.se/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EFPA-Standards-and-… · Association, Norwegian Psychological Association, British](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081409/607681e9439d941bb33eee89/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
