CPI 260 Tolerance Scale

 

Author: Harrison G. Gough

The Tolerance (To) Scale measures openness to diverse perspectives, behaviors, and viewpoints. It reflects the ability to navigate and appreciate differences in social and cultural contexts. This scale offers insight into how inclusively an individual interacts with others and adapts to varied environments.

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.

High scores on To do appear to presage tolerance and a willingness to accept others and to accept differences from one’s own views. This disposition seems to stem from cognitive, reflective attitudes rather than from warmth and positive feelings. High scorers on To also seem to be intelligent, interested in cognitive matters, realistic in their expectations, stable, and relatively free of serious conflicts or psychological problems. (p.128)
