The Orpheus TPQ uses the same individual questionnaire as the original Orpheus, allowing team members, individually, to obtain confidential personal feedback in addition to the team profile feedback report. The team profile provides feedback upon the collective strengths and weaknesses of the team based upon the seven minor scales. The individual report provides feedback on the five major scales. Team reports are formed on the basis of combination scores. Reports are scored automatically and individual scores remain anonymous.
All reports are both graphical and narrative.
Each report giving a detailed description relevant to team performance based upon the combined identity and dynamics of the the team. The development of the team tool involved the expertise of a team of Psychometricians and team development specialists including, John Rust author of Orpheus and Senior Psychometrician at City Psychometrician, Psychometrician and author, Susan Golombok and Team Performance Psychologist and three times Olympian, Ali Gill. Orpheus was originally derived from a work-based personality item bank containing 420 items drawn from more than 12 customised assessments carried out over a 10 year period. Many of these were broad spectrum assessments which sampled over a wide variety of work related personality domains. Several different models were used in these assessments depending upon the specific purpose of each.
