The goal of the study was to determine whether the Occupational Personality Questionnaire
(OPQ32i) yielded comparable results when two different modes of administration, namely paperand-
pencil and Internet-based administration, were used in real-life, high-stakes selection settings.
Two studies were conducted in which scores obtained online in unproctored settings were compared
with scores obtained during proctored paper-and-pencil settings. The psychometric properties of
the paper-and-pencil and Internet-based applications were strikingly similar. Structural equation
modelling with EQS indicated substantial support for the hypothesis that covariance matrices
of the paper-and-pencil and online applications in both studies were identical. It was concluded
that relationships between the OPQ32i scales were not affected by mode of administration or
supervision.
