The original Inwald Survey 5 (IS5®) was developed to identify an individual’s lack of integrity, expressed anger patterns, low frustration tolerance, excusing attitudes regarding antisocial behaviors, difficulties getting along with others, job performance problems, and lack of work ethic.

The Inwald Survey 5-Revised (IS5-R) contains all 162 items in the IS5, with the addition of 30 items in a new scale, Domestic Difficulties (DD). Items on the DD scale aid in identifying individuals with a history of domestic violence and/or those who admit to current involvement in physical altercations/domestic violence incidents. Both the IS5-R and IS5 are used for pre-offer screening in many states. However, in certain states, counties, and municipalities, these tests may need to be administered as a conditional-offer assessment. Please check the legal requirements in your area for confirmation.

“The 16pf Questionnaire is the most highly-validated instrument of its type and the most valuable tool we have in our assessment arsenal.” (Excerpt from a presentation at a retreat for the Larcen Consulting Group’s Core Consulting Team.)
