WATCHMEN Profile Inventory (WPI) Which WATCHMEN Superhero Are You? The Watchmen Profile Inventory (WPI) is a personality test that has been adopted by law enforcement recruiters and trainers in Elgin, Illinois, after extensive research and testing at the University of Chicago. It is considered to be the most accurate measure of the integrity, psychological stability, and character strength of future police officers. Although the issue of any kind of "profilng" is highly controversial, other local, state, and federal agencies are closely observing the testing and results of Elgin's WPI profiling as a possible tool in assessing their candidates in light of increasing domestic and international threats the United States now faces.
The WPI itself consists of 25 questions that the participant is allowed 2 minutes to complete. Click on your WPI Score below to reveal your costumed alter ego. Alan Moore Portal: Watchmen. Watchmen. This page is similar in name or subject to other pages.
