Detailed Description+

Assesses behaviors and attitudes relevant to successful progress in and completion of a university course.
The WSP-2 is a personality questionnaire based on the respondent’s self-assessment; it is intended primarily for use in one-to-one counseling. The inventory is also used in course entry testing (academic testing) to collect additional information relevant to academic success. The assessment of personality characteristics is an important supplement to the testing of cognitive abilities when the aim is to predict academic performance or success at work. This test yields self-assessments on the following scales: Organization, Accuracy and Conscientiousness, Independence and Initiative, Realistic Self-assessment, Motivation, Frustration Tolerance, Social Competence, Emotional Competence and Self-confidence.
