Lipson-Shiu Corporate Type Test

Lipson-Shiu Corporate Type Test

There are a number of well-known systems for classifying people's personalities according to various measures such as introversion-extroversion, and organisations often use these schemes to categorize their staff. Unfortunately, such methods do not capture a number of the most important aspects of an individual within an organisation; any corporate employee knows that whether someone is (for example) extroverted or introverted is much less critical than (say) how important they are. The Lipson-Shiu test attempts to remedy this and other oversights by classifying along four alternative axes:

Intelligent-Stupid
Lawful-Chaotic
Important-Unimportant
Good-Evil
