Generalities

The CI was created in the early 1990s by Gary Walstrom and Cecilia Bruening-Walstrom in 2004, in partnership with Louis Janda, a professor of psychology at Old Dominion University.

The company is based in Leawood, Kansas. CI is most often found on the East Coast and Southern states of the USA.

Assessment

The CI questionnaire has two questions on two pages, each with 174 adjectives. The first question asks the respondents to describe themselves, and the second asks them to describe how they must behave to be successful in their current position. It takes up to 20 minutes to answer. It measures four primary dimensions that are shown with dots in the CI profiles and three additional ones presented below. The four factors are designated with the letters A, B, C, or D.

Dimension	GRI a priori
Autonomy (A)	High 1 versus low 1
Social Ability (B)	High 2 versus low 2
Pace (C)	Low 1, high 3 versus high 1, low 3
Conformity (D)	High 4, low 2, low 1 versus low 4, high 2, high 1
Logic (L)	N/A (composite factor)
Ingenuity (I)	N/A (composite factor)
Energy Units (EU)	Response Level

Usage

The publisher proposes the assessment as a management tool for all kinds of applications, including recruitment.

Comments

The CI dimensions are close to those of the AVA, DISC, Drake P3 and PI systems. The CI is a forced-choice assessment, like PI, oand unlike Drake P3 or DISC which is a forced-choise.

The four dimensions being measured are work-related, meet considerations of parsimony and coverage, but as suggested by the above comparison with GRI’s four factors, may lack orthogonality.

The CI deploys primarily through training and service.
