MAP-X
MAP-X is based on MAP-scores. It provides an additional insight, focussing on extreme behaviors.
What is measured?
In MAP-X, extreme behaviors are defined as behavioral patterns attached to either very high or very low scores associated with the big five personality traits that may be connected to maladaptive personality traits posing a risk of adverse consequences for either the individual themselves or their surroundings.
When to use it?
All positive and adaptive traits that are otherwise valued in the workplace can have a negative side when performed too much or too often. MAP-X captures these extreme behaviors from a curvilinear perspective on the Big 5 and describes the potential risks associated with these behavioral patterns.
Why use it?
When taken to the extreme, otherwise fruitful and helpful behaviors can become counterproductive and destructive (for oneself as well as for others). These extreme dispositions may harm an individual’s ability to make effective decisions, work with their colleagues, and navigate stressful situations — all of which diminish organizational performance and individual and team effectiveness. These effects are even strengthened if the individual remain unaware of their extreme behavior or fail to even see the link to negative outcomes.
How to use it?
MAP-X is based on the scores of the MAP3 personality questionnaire. MAP-X gives an insight in the extreme behaviors Withdrawn vs Attention seeking, Insensitive vs Overcaring, Impulsive vs Rigid, Emotional vs Unresponsive, Conformist vs Eccentric.
