Personality Factor Questionnaire

89 college students completed the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire and made ratings of preference on 23 selected slides of photographs. Factor analysis of students' ratings of preference indicated factors corresponding to photograph themes of aggression, form, and innocence/children. Four of six hypothesized relationships between 16 Personality Factor source traits and preferences for the theme of a photograph were found. To some degree, persons prefer photographs whose themes are congruent with or express their personality traits.

Preference Ratings

College students (49 males and 40 females) completed the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and performed 5-point preference ratings on 25 slides of paintings. Factor analysis of preference ratings gave seven dimensions of preference that underlay judgments. Eight significant relationships were found between source traits, measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, and dimensions of painting preferences. Support was obtained for the notion that preference for paintings is congruent with or expresses the personality traits of the rater. Further students reported greater preference for representational paintings than for abstract paintings.

Significant Point

This report describes four studies of measures of the alcoholic personality by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and the House-Tree-Person. In a sample of 49 male alcoholics support was found for the 16 PF alcoholic personality reported in earlier studies on 4 to 7 scales. Differences in incidence of 20 chromatic characteristics of drawings and in sex of the HTP person drawings between normals and alcoholics were also discovered. Previous research on collegiates reported some low but significant point biserial correlations and discriminant functions between 16 PF traits and trait combinations, and 20 chromatic drawing characteristics. In three instances, alcoholic and college men's drawing characteristics correlated significantly ( p < .05) with the same 16 PF scale. In three other cases, identical findings occurred in correlations of alcoholic men and college women's drawings and traits. Comparison of the data from alcoholics and college students led to the conclusion that in general relationships between drawing characteristics and personality traits may well depend on the type of sample used. Suggestions for further research were made.

Objective - This study aims to extend the brand personality concept by applying this concept to the organization, i.e., the university. Methodology/Technique – A questionnaire was designed based on Aaker (1997)’s 5 dimensions of brand personality scale to collect the data. 400 Thai undergraduate students of Kasetsart University Chalermphrakiat Sakon Nakhon Province Campus participated in this study. Participants were first informed of the study description and instructed to think of a university as if it were a person and to rate on a five-point scale (1 = not at all descriptive, 5 = extremely descriptive). In the data analysis, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were used. Finding – The results from the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with a varimax rotation showed 5 factors of university personality. Factor 1 represents competence dimension having 10 items (successful, leader, technical, corporate, cool, hardworking, secure, spirited, confident and reliable). Factor 2 represents sophistication dimension which had 4 items (glamorous, good looking, smooth and upper class). Factor 3 represents ruggedness dimension which had 5 items (western, tough, masculine, rugged and outdoorsy). Factor 4 represents sincerity dimension which had 2 items (honest and sincere). The last factor was excitement dimension which had only 1 item, imaginative. Furthermore, according to student perspective, the majority of university personality dimensions of Kasetsart University Chalermphrakiat Sakon Nakhon Province Campus was ruggedness dimension. Novelty – Research examining the dimensions of organization personality is still scant. To fill the gap, the current study was conducted to demonstrate how the brand personality concept was applicable when the organization was viewed as a brand. Therefore, it is a preliminary step toward such direction to extend and apply the brand personality concept to a new different area. Type of Paper: Empirical. JEL Classification: M10, M19.

Personality Factor Questionnaire

In contrast to traditional researches that involve a manual, non-quantitative, and subjective way of performing handwriting analysis, in the current research, a special computer-aided method of revised handwriting analysis is used. It includes the detection of personality traits via manual quantitative registration of handwriting signs and their automated quantitative evaluation. This method is based on a mathematical–statistical model that integrates multiple international publications on the evaluation of handwriting signs. The first aim is the validation of the revised method against the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire Revised (16PF-R), which is performed as a self-report personality test by test persons and was developed and researched empirically by Raymond B. Cattell et al. A second aim is the development of an integrated model for assessment including handwriting analysis: when both methods come to the same result on a certain scale, then the construct can be accepted with higher reliability; in contrast, when results are contradictory, they should be regarded as a limitation of each method and raise awareness in the researchers, as these contradictions are a precious source of additional information regarding the complexity, ambiguity, and context specificity of personality traits.

This This study examined the relationship between vocational interests and basic personality traits. The interest fields of the 19-Field-Interest Inventory were related to the second order factors of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire by means of a factor extension analysis. The results showed that extroverts tend to be interested in fields related to social contact and the influencing of other people. Emotionally sensitive individuals tend to be interested in the arts and languages. Independent individuals tend to be interested in creative thinking. The implications of the findings for career counselling are discussed. Opsomming Hierdie studie het ondersoek ingestel na die verband tussen beroepsbelangstellings en basiese persoonlikheidstrekke.

Components Method

Recent legislation has extended rehabilitation services from the groups traditionally served to the socially and economically disadvantaged. Since many of these clients cannot be classified in the traditional modes, this study developed a system of classification according to personality traits intended to be useful to counselors in dealing with all types of clients.A sample of 135 clients was administered Form E of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Factor analysis (principle components method) and discriminant analysis differentiated three personality groups: (1) normal adjusted, (2) assertive-aggressive, and (3) passive-dependent. Appropriate counseling techniques for each group are suggested.

To identify personality syndromes indicated by preferences for figures, correlations among 10 scales of the Welsh Figure Preference Test, 18 scales of the Cattell 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, and 6 scales of the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values for 50 college students were calculated. 8 figure preference variables correlated significantly with 10 Cattell and 3 Study of Values scales. The 27 significant rs suggested that: (a) rejection of the figures is symptomatic of personal inadequacy and anxiety, while acceptance of the figures indicates personal stability, self-confidence, and freedom from anxiety; (b) the more stable personality syndromes are associated with preference for complex, black, shaded, and dotted figures; (c) inconsistency of preference is positively related to general intelligence.

The goal of this study is to assess the construct validity of a preemployment test of honesty, the Phase II Profile, in relation to the personality traits measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Of the four predetermined criteria, only the relationship to emotional stability was significant. Two of the 12 relationships expected to be nonsignificant were significant. The correlations obtained in this study and in two others were so low that the construct validity for the tests of honesty in relation to the chosen personality traits could not be confirmed.
