  1. How are OPQ32 scores typically used in structured interviews?

    Answer: To generate targeted interview questions that probe specific personality traits or potential development areas

    OPQ32 results are often used to generate tailored interview questions that explore personality trait implications in a structured interview setting.

  2. What does a Sten score of 1 or 2 on the SHL OPQ32 typically suggest?

    Answer: The candidate scored unusually low on that trait relative to the norm group

    Sten scores of 1 or 2 indicate the candidate's trait level is significantly lower than most people in the reference population.

  3. Why is it important to match the norm group to the candidate's professional level when interpreting OPQ results?

    Answer: Because trait expression and expectations differ across professional levels, making comparisons more valid

    Comparing a candidate against a relevant professional-level norm group ensures the scores reflect meaningful differences rather than expected level-based differences.

  4. In the SHL OPQ32, what is the typical range of Sten scores?

    Answer: 1 to 10

    OPQ Sten scores range from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), with 5–6 representing the average range.

  5. When an OPQ32 report flags a 'response style' issue, what should an employer do?

    Answer: Treat the results with caution and consider additional assessment or a follow-up conversation

    A flagged response style suggests results may not be fully reliable, so employers should use them cautiously and seek additional information before making decisions.

  6. Which OPQ32 report type is most commonly used to support developmental coaching conversations?

    Answer: The candidate/development report, which shares trait feedback directly with the individual

    The development-focused candidate report is written in accessible language and is specifically designed to support self-reflection and coaching conversations.
