Bore specializes in personality, morality, and psychometrics. He has developed psychometric instruments for medical student selection, including the Personal Qualities Assessment (PQA), used commercially in Australia, the UK, and Sweden for selecting applicants to medicine and allied health degrees. His research explores relationships between personality and psychological illness and well-being, individual differences in diversity related to sex, gender, and sexuality, and questionnaire design and analysis for personality and values. He collaborates with the Faculty of Health at UNSW and international researchers in Sweden, the UK, and Japan, and participates in the NSW Child Development Study investigating links between childhood personality and mental health. Notable publications include his book, "The Psychology of Morality: Libertarian and Communitarian Moral Orientations and a Dissonance Model of Moral Decision Making" (2008); the chapter "Predicting Empathy in Medical Students and Doctors" (2014, with Munro and Powis); "Personality determinants of success in medical school & beyond: 'Steady, sane and nice'" (2008, with Munro and Powis); and journal articles such as "Is the UCAT appropriate for selecting undergraduate medical students?" (2021, with Powis), "Why is it so hard to consider personal qualities when selecting medical students?"
