Sole Source Justification - MAPS
The FBI’s Human Resources Division requires support for a Multidimensional Adaptive Personality Scales (MAPS) assessment test that includes a personality assessment. The solution must use the latest psychometric advances and a multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) format to reliably and efficiently assess personality traits. MFC item types are cited as most effective for mitigating socially desirable responding in high-stakes testing. The desired assessment should offer reduced assessment time, increased test security, and greater fake resistance than traditional personality assessments, with tailored versions designed for role-specific trait combinations.
