The ICP is a covert, personality-based psychometric assessment measuring two complementary domains of workplace disposition: an Integrity domain consisting of ten positively-framed traits, and a Counterproductive Work Behaviour (CWB-Risk) domain with ten risk-framed traits. A third, independent Monitor scale assesses the reliability of the candidate’s own responses. Because Integrity and CWB-Risk are not opposite ends of a single scale but related, independently measured dispositions, the ICP reports a separate rating for each domain, as well as a combined Composite rating that integrates both.

The ICP was developed from the COMPOSITE INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT STRATEGY (CIAS-Model), a schematic model developed by Dr Louis J Fick over more than 30 years of research.

The assessment consists of 132 items.  There is no time limit, and most people complete it within 30 to 40 minutes.

Measuring Areas – Scales:

Domain A: Integrity Profile

The stronger the inclination towards the Integrity Domain, the higher the score.

1. Honesty-Humility (Sincerity)
2. Conscientiousness (Ownership, Dutifulness & Self-Discipline)
3. Socialized Control (Internalised Norm Adherence)
4. Accountability (Ownership & Error-Correction)
5. Stability / Consistency (Emotional Stability)
6. Agreeableness / Amenability (Pro-Social Orientation)
7. Dependability / Reliability (Interpersonal Follow-Through)
8. Trustworthiness / Loyalty (Confidentiality & Ethical Fidelity)
9. Fairness (Sincerity, Impartiality & Transparency)
10. Modesty (Humility, Humbleness & Discreetness)

Culminating in:

• Integrated Integrity Rating (IIR): a composite score across all ten Integrity traits.
• Adapted Integrity Rating (AIR): the IIR adjusted according to the candidate’s degree of Truthfulness.

Domain B: CWB-Risk Profile

The stronger the inclination towards the CWB-Risk Domain, the higher the score.

1. Risk-Taking / Recklessness (Low Self-Control)
2. Exploitativeness / Deceitfulness (Deviant Orientation)
3. Manipulative / Indoctrinative Stance (Machiavellianism)
4. Rule Defiance (Wilful Norm Violation)
5. Aggression / Hostility (Antagonistic Reactivity)
6. Impulsivity (Acting Without Foresight)
7. Cynicism (Rationalisation Stance)
8. Malicious Intent (Vindictiveness)
9. Entitlement / Narcissism (Privileged & Egoistic)
10. Effort-Withholding Control (Deliberate Underperformance)

Culminating in:

• Integrated CWB-Risk Rating (ICR): a composite score across all ten CWB-Risk traits.
• Adapted CWB-Risk Rating (ACR): the ICR adjusted according to the candidate’s degree of Truthfulness.

Monitor

As the ICP is a single measurement instrument, the Monitor scores apply to both the Integrity and CWB-Risk dimensions.

• Truthfulness (Lie Detector)
• Consistency (Consistency checks)
• Unnatural Exaggeration (Unnatural Exaggeration checks)

Once the Monitor has been applied, the report culminates in two overall Composite Ratings, bringing both domains together:

• Composite Integrated Rating (CIR)
• Composite Adapted Rating (CAR)

Purpose: A holistic assessment of Integrity and Counterproductive Work Behaviour risk for hiring and development.
