IMI : INTEGRITY MEASURING INSTRUMENT

or

ISP : INTEGRITY SCREENING/ SELECTION PROFILE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The IMI is the shorter and simpler version of the IP-200. It is much more overt and direct in its basic approach to measuring Integrity. It consists of 100 test-items (declaring approximately 75% of the total variance) in more than 10 languages and provides the user with 10 scales to base their decision(s) on. One of these scales is a Verifiable Factor scale and provides the instrument, together with its Lie-Detector scale, a very soundly based reliability. The IMI takes about 35 minutes to complete and is especially useful for screening purposes.

Measuring Areas – Scales: Ten Substructures

Honesty
Stealing/Theft
Violation of policy, rules & regulations
Reliability and Dependability
Lying
Denial, Projection & Justification
Work Ethic
Manipulation
Verifiable Items
Lie Detector
Plus the two Summarized Scales, i.e., Integrated Integrity Rating & Adapted Integrity Rating

Purpose: Condensed and simplified level Integrity Measure in the World of Work

Critical Factors
Short & Simple
'Lower' Level
Enhancing Integrity
Investigation
Promotion
Career Planning & Development
Screening/Selection

PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES

Reliability: Ranging from 0.80 to 0.89 (Significant.)

Validity: Ranging from 0.48 to 0.64 (Significant.)

Fairness: No significant differences were detected via the ‘Norm Process’ regarding four critical (sensitive) factors used, namely age, gender, ethnicity, and language at the 0.001 level.

Readability & Ease of Comprehension: “A maximum of sixth grade of the Fry Readability Graph was observed”. There is no time-restriction applicable to the completion of this test.

Considering the fact that the IMI is available for low levels it is, in addition to the ‘standard English’, also available in a lower level English and more than ten translations are already available.

The seven ‘Readability Actions' (described earlier in the paper) were/are applied on the IMI.

GENERAL USE AND DECISION-MAKING RULES

The IMI can be used at a grade 6 schooling level.

Consider a score of ‘5’-sten (and below) on the Lie-Detector scale as a knock-out score.

Although simple and straight forward, the IMI must be interpreted by a registered psychologist.

It is beneficial to administer the IMI prior to a structured interview in order to use the results, obtained via the ‘Verifiable Items’, during the said interview.

It is advisable to adhere to a ‘4’ sten (and below) on the Adapted Integrity Scale for employment purpose.
