Ipsative (/ËÉªpsÉtÉªv/ ; Latin: ipse, of the self) is a descriptor used in psychology to indicate a specific type of measure in which respondents compare two or more desirable options and pick the one that is most preferred (sometimes called a forced choice scale).
Ipsative assessments are scored through using forced choice questions and responses. The results produced indicate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the person being assessed. There is no objective comparison to any other individual. These tools are very useful as team building or as coaching instruments. They are ineffective as hiring and selection instruments. Ipsative assessments are developmental tools; they tell you very little as to the actual capability of the employee/candidate.
