Personality Orientation in Communication Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure evaluates an individual’s dispositional orientation toward interpersonal communication, with attention to perceived goals, values, and preferred approaches to interaction. The Personality Orientation in Communication Assessment is intended to help clarify how a person typically frames the purpose and meaning of communication and the strategies they view as acceptable or effective.
The instrument consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items are generally structured to elicit self-reported preferences and attitudes, which can be used to summarize dominant interpersonal orientations relevant to communication style. The Personality Orientation in Communication Assessment has been attributed to Paul T. Costa Jr. and Robert R. McCrae.
