OPM Personality Assessment for Leaders

Published by U.S. Office of Personnel Management | Office of Personnel Management | Metadata Last Checked: June 26, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023
The OPM Personality Assessment for Leaders (OPM-PAL) is a developmental assessment designed to assess the personality traits of Federal leaders. The assessment is based on a solid foundation of research concerning the relationship between general personality traits and effective leadership. It specifies how personality traits relate to the OPM Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) and is applicable to all levels of leadership in the Federal Government, including team leads, supervisors, managers, and executives. The OPM-PAL provides participants with developmental feedback about their personality on five major traits (referred to as the “Big Five” personality factors): Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability.
