CPI 260 Good Impression Scale

 

Author: Harrison G. Gough

The Good Impression (Gi) Scale measures how individuals present themselves to others and manage social perceptions. It captures efforts to adapt and create a favorable image across different environments. This scale highlights an individual’s awareness of social expectations and their ability to meet them effectively.

The scale is part of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), a well-established tool for understanding personality characteristics that contribute to effective behavior in various contexts. This scale is frequently used in leadership development and organizational coaching to identify strengths and developmental opportunities.

Respondents with above average but not extraordinarily high scores on Gi see themselves as cooperative, helpful, and considerate, and in fact are described in these same terms by others. Work with individuals has shown that persons with high scores on Gi often seek to ingratiate themselves with superiors while overlooking or ignoring the feelings of their own subordinates. (p. 118)
