Dominance (an IPIP Scale)

Assessment name: Dominance an IPIP scale

Scale overview: The dominance scale is one of 33 preliminary IPIP scales purported to measure a similar construct on Gough’s California Psychological Inventory.

Authors: See the reference link below.

Response Type: A suggested response type is to instruct participants to rate items on a degree of how accurate the item describes themselves. Following is a quote between the hyphen lines from the IPIP website.

------

How Accurately Can You Describe Yourself?

Describe yourself as you generally are now, not as you wish to be in the future. Describe yourself as you honestly see yourself, in relation to other people you know of the same sex as you are, and roughly your same age. So that you can describe yourself in an honest manner, your responses will be kept in absolute confidence. Indicate for each statement whether it is 1. Very Inaccurate, 2. Moderately Inaccurate, 3. Neither Accurate Nor Inaccurate, 4. Moderately Accurate, or 5. Very Accurate as a description of you. (https://ipip.ori.org/New_IPIP-50-item-scale.htm)

  Impose my will on others.

  Want to control the conversation.

  Am not afraid of providing criticism.

  Lay down the law to others.

  Put people under pressure.
