Attitude Clues

The CLUES™ Attitude Assessment measures six areas of potentially counterproductive behaviours by a self-descriptive inventory that taps six substantive areas of concern as well a Good Impression (validity) scale.

The scales measured are:

Conscientious (Dependability): Describes the degree to which the individual lacks persistence, work motivation, and organization, ranging from being lackadaisical and careless to being highly disciplined and dependable.

Hostility (Aggression): Describes the degree to which the person is not able to suppress angry feeling but rather expresses anger physically or verbally to co-workers and thus poses a real risk in the workplace.

Integrity (Honesty): Involves the degree to which the person is likely to engage in pilferage, short–changing customers, falsifying expense accounts, lying to protect him or herself, exaggerating one's job qualifications and other acts of dishonesty.

Substance Abuse: Describes the possibility that this person might use illegal drugs or alcohol while at work, might show up for work either drunk or high or badly “hung over”, and thus pose a safety risk because of impaired perception or judgment.

Sexual Harassment: Involves the likelihood that this person will ask co-workers for sexual favors, make sexual remarks that upset colleagues, tell “dirty jokes”, or otherwise behave inappropriately at work.

Computer Misuse: Described the possibility that this person might abuse the organization's computers to send and/or receive personal e-mails, “surf the Web”, transact personal business, or otherwise violate company computer–use policies.

Good Impression: A validity scale that measures the degree to which the person has responded truthfully to the test items or is responding in such a way as to make a good impression.

The CLUES™ Attitude Assessment is modular with four “core” scales and then three additional scales that can be added as needed. The core assessment is 80 true/false questions and if all the core scales are added, the assessment is 140 questions ranging from a time frame of 8 minutes to 20 minutes if all the scales are used.
