Uchida-Kraepelin performance test and "personality"

The Uchida-Kraepelin performance test is, surprisingly, not a psychological test that was originally developed as a personality inventory.
The working curve of the <25-minute method> (15-minute work-5-minute break-10-minute work) and the subsequent <30-minute method> (15-minute work-5-minute break-15-minute work), and the clinical picture of the examinee. As a result of studying the correlation between the two, it was found that the working curve of the Uchida-Kraepelin performance test the characteristics of the examinee's Behavioral and personality traits, and it has come to be used as a personality inventory.

In the Results of the Uchida-Kraepelin performance test , the personality of the examinee is expressed by "five characteristics related to behavior and personality".

5 characteristics related to behavior and personality

Adaptability
Characteristics of getting started and adapting to the environment
Flexibility
Characteristics related to changes in mood and flexibility in responding to things (part of the variability of conventional judgment)
Sensitivity
Inner surface sensitivity and characteristics related to sensitivity (part of the variability of conventional judgment)
Tenaciousness
Characteristics related to tenacity and commitment to work on things (promotion of conventional judgment)
Resilience
Characteristics related to recovery from fatigue and endurance

Each of the five characteristics is "Low(-)", "Slightly low(-)", "Moderate(none)", "Slightly high(+)", and "High(++)" from the stage where the tendency of the characteristic is the lowest. It is evaluated on a 5-point scale.

Even candidates who are evaluated in the same zone by the Basic index can know their personality more deeply by looking at these five characteristics.

It should be noted here that "Low" or "High" does not mean good or bad.
If the situation requires the Behavioral and personality traits, it will be judged as "suitable person", otherwise it will be judged as "mismatch".
It means that any Behavioral and personality traits can be a strength or a weakness in some cases.

	Traits to look out for
Many mistakes	Attention should be paid to behavioral Control and accuracy. It is possible that the Control you need to get the job done are not working well. You can compare it to a car with broken brakes. In some cases, the number of incorrect answers increases temporarily, such as exhaustion or immediately after being released from a difficult situation.
Large drop	Be careful about temporary interruptions in concentration. It is possible that your concentration is temporarily interrupted, or that even if you continue to calculate with your head, your hands will stop. It is a state in which the gears temporarily disengage during work. Care must be taken when allocating to work that requires continued concentration, such as driving a vehicle or operating a machine.
Large spike	You need to be careful about your mood and your behavior. Your mood and energy may rise temporarily, or you may experience "toppy" behavior that is different from your usual impression. It may be impulsive, and sometimes it may be struck by strong behavior such as "cutting".
Extreme fluctuation	Attention should be paid to mood and behavioral instability. Since the mood and behavior become uneven, it becomes difficult to stably demonstrate the original Capability. Sometimes it seems to be inconsistent and give the impression of swinging around depending on the mood (Flexibility: High). On the other hand, although the inside is greatly fluctuation, it seems that there are cases where it does not appear much in behavior (Sensitivity: High).
Lack of fluctuation	Attention should be paid to behavioral rigidity and lack of emotion. It is Flexibility and I am not good at changing the way and pace of my work according to the surroundings. Since emotional expressions and emotional changes are also flat, they sometimes appear indifferent or give the impression of being extremely calm.
Extremely slow start for the test's latter half	You need to be careful about getting started and adapting to things. Things don't go smoothly, and it takes a lot of time to adapt to new environments and respond to changing circumstances. On the other hand, you may not be able to express your opinions and feelings, and your relationships with others may become awkward.
Decline in workload during the test's latter half	It is necessary to be careful about the decrease in physical strength and motivation due to fatigue. Physical fatigue and weakness are strongly manifested. There may be diminished motivation to work, sleep Low(sleeping during the test), exhaustion, and temporary modulation due to the effects of alcohol and drugs. You may need to get enough rest.
Extremely low workload	It is necessary to pay attention to the delay of work speed and basic Capability. The work speed is extremely slow, so it is expected that learning and learning will take time. Dealing with complex tasks, non-standardized tasks, and tasks that require speed can be difficult.
