The Le Corff Personality Inventory is a Quebec-based personality assessment tool. It was designed to measure personality traits according to the five-factor theory ("Big Five").
This theory, rigorously validated and widely accepted in psychological research circles, highlights the existence of five dimensions that comprehensively summarize personality. These five personality traits account for a person's relational, emotional, cognitive, motivational, experiential, and attitudinal style.
More than 250,000 people have been assessed to date in Quebec, Canada, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Tunisia, Benin, Nigeria, etc...
IPLC uses an algorithm to predict an individual's compatibility.
This personality algorithm has been designed to provide the professional with a detailed analysis of an individual's personality and a measure of the adequacy of the results obtained by this candidate to the desired personality profile.
The IPLC offers a second level of analysis by subdividing each of the five traits into two more specific facets that allow for a finer analysis of personality.
A competency model provides a clear view of the link between one's personality traits and the model of the eight major competencies sought.

In psychology, there is a wide variety of theories for conceptualizing personality. Among these, trait theory has seen the most significant advances in the last two decades.
According to this conceptualization, personality is composed of traits, universal in humans, that vary from individual to individual. Thus, everyone possesses the same bipolar traits, but these differ quantitatively in each person. For example, everyone has a certain level of extroversion, whether high or low (introversion), but it is impossible to completely characterize a person based solely on this trait. These traits reflect the cognitive, emotional, relational, experiential, motivational, and attitudinal styles, which are relatively stable over time and across situations, and which characterize individuals.
The IPLC was built on this basis and presents a valid and reliable measure of these characteristics.
