						<p>Developed with MPQ normative and comparison group data and providing either a preoffer or postoffer option, this report is designed to inform evaluation of a prospective police officer&rsquo;s job-relevant psychological traits and competencies. The report provides empirically grounded and conceptually informed interpretations to assist assessors when making police officer suitability decisions. The <em>User&#39;s Guide for the Police Preemployment Interpretive Report </em>provides background on the development of the report, standard procedures for interpretation, and case illustrations.</p>

						<p>Features of the Police Preemployment Interpretive Report</p>

						<ul>
							<li>Focuses on identifying both positive and negative attributes, as indicated by the test taker&rsquo;s scores</li>
							<li>Evidence-based interpretive report with fully transparent citations linking all statements with their interpretive sources</li>
							<li>Offers two separate comparison groups with unique features:
							<ul>
								<li><strong>Preoffer police applicants</strong> (298 individuals who completed the MPQ as part of a preoffer suitability assessment)</li>
								<li><strong>Postoffer police candidates</strong> (938 individuals who completed the MPQ as part of a postoffer preemployment psychological evaluation)</li>
							</ul>
							</li>
							<li>Identifies correlates associated with 10 job-relevant domains:
							<ul>
								<li>Emotional Control and Stress Tolerance</li>
								<li>Routine Task Performance</li>
								<li>Decision-Making and Judgment</li>
								<li>Feedback Acceptance</li>
								<li>Assertiveness</li>
								<li>Social Competence and Teamwork</li>
								<li>Integrity</li>
								<li>Conscientiousness and Dependability</li>
								<li>Substance Use</li>
								<li>Impulse Control</li>
							</ul>
							</li>
						</ul>

						<p><em>Interpretive statements rely on the appropriate comparison group for base rate information and on other police samples for validity evidence that is cited in the report. </em></p>

						<p>This report includes full scoring information (see Score Report) and an integrated interpretation of scores specifically for police applicants or candidates, organized in the following sections:</p>

						<ul>
							<li><strong>Synopsis:</strong> summary of major conclusions</li>
							<li><strong>Protocol Validity:</strong> comprehensive information about test validity with guidance on implications of overly positive self-presentation</li>
							<li><strong>General Personality and Comparison Group Findings:</strong> description of positive and negative attribute statements based on empirical correlates, along with substantive scale findings in the context of the police preoffer and police postoffer comparison groups</li>
							<li><strong>Job-Relevant Correlates:</strong> positive and/or negative attributes and potential problems in 10 job domains identified as relevant to police applicant or candidate suitability</li>
							<li><strong>Item-Level Information:</strong> list of unscorable responses, optional user-designated item-level information, and critical follow-up items for police preemployment evaluations</li>
							<li><strong>Endnotes:</strong> identification of scores and sources associated with each interpretive statement</li>
							<li><strong>Research Reference List:</strong> sources supporting empirical correlate-based statements (updated as additional studies are published)</li>
