  • Enthusiast
  • Analyst
  • Supporter

It is often used to develop individuals and groups by helping them to improve their communication. It is a hands-on-tool to meet day-to-day relationship-based challenges.

When choosing a test tool, we recommend that you pay attention to its validity and reliability. Extensive documentation has been performed to provide evidence of reliability and validity.

Validity
  • Criterion validity: resulting types are evaluated by test takers as relevant and valid: 94% rated the match between work behaviour and EASI as “very good”.
  • Construct validity: mean item-total correlations within each scale are very high (r = 0.55). Factor Analysis of the model has shown good construct validity in relation to the Five Factor Model.
  • Differential Item Functioning (DIF): DIF was rejected across gender, country, age, and educational level. This is strong evidence that EASI functions equally well when used on different groups.
Reliability

  • Cronbach’s Alpha: Behavior mean α = 0.87 and Motivation mean α = 0.89
