Psychological tests have been found to be one of the most valid and cost effective means for identifying the most suitable applicants for the job (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998). When properly conducted, selection testing can save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Using extremely conservative assumptions, Hunter and Schmidt (1984) calculated that the U.S. gross national product could be increased between $80 and $100 billion (in 1981 dollars) if selection testing were introduced throughout the workplace.

The SFPQ is a brief, cost-effective personality measure that encompasses and extends the "Big 5". It is ideal for use in business settings and in research. Among other qualities, the SFPQ draws on an improved model for "Conscientiousness", and has received an exceptionally positive review from the Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook (2000). In addition, items were carefully selected to minimize the effects of social desirability response bias, an issue affecting other popular measures of the Big 5.
