CPI 260 Conceptual Fluency Scale

 

Author: Harrison G. Gough

The Conceptual Fluency (Cf) Scale measures an individual’s ability to think abstractly, generate ideas, and engage in complex problem-solving. It highlights intellectual curiosity and comfort with exploring theoretical or innovative concepts. This scale reflects how effectively a person navigates situations requiring critical thinking and creative insights.

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 Cf are indicative of good intellectual ability, efficient use of ability, and general good sense in living. Payoffs are visible in better physical and psychological well-being than for low scorers, in superior academic achievement, and in positive reactions from others. (p.138)
