This study was undertaken to test Dahlstrom's hypothesis that the clinical utility of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) could be improved through the use of dimensionally pure personality trait and psychopathological state scales to supplant the present dimensionally complex clinical and validity scales. Results failed to…

The purpose of this study was to compare Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) results of 53 adolescent poor sleepers with a matched control group of 53 good sleepers.

The scores of 20 high and 20 low dogmatic counselors-in-training were compared with their scores on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule to identify those variables that enable prediction from one test to the other. Three scales, Abasement, Order and Dominance, were significant discriminators between high and low dogmatics. (Author)

The relation between three cognitive ability factors and three personality dimensions were examined in three age groups. Subjects were 969 male volunteers ranging in age from 25 to 82. While personality has some influence on cognitive performance, declines with age in performance on some cognitive tasks are not mediated by personality. (Author)

This study provides an analysis and cross-validation of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) occupational introversion-extroversion (OIE) scale, a parent of the IE scale in the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII). (Author)

Discriminant analysis was separately employed for men and women in order to determine the independent personality dimensions that discriminate among the four Clark-Trow student types. Two significant discriminant functions placed the male vocational, nonconformist, academic, and collegiate types in positions that are essentially consistent with…

The Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI) and the Sixteen Personality Factors Questionnaire (16PF) were administered to 425 undergraduate students and compared using canonical analysis. The contributions of the scales of the VPI and the 16PF to the three relationships supported Hollans's theory of vocational choice, the use of the VPI for…

Cross-sex equalization of vocational interests in the college population was tested by comparing 150 female and 150 male college counselees with the "women in general" and "men in general" samples of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory. College females differed little from women in general. (Author)

Investigated construct validity of four self-report, self-concept instruments: Bledsoe Self-Concept Scale (BSCS), Children's Self-Concept Scale (CSCS), Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) and Purdue Self-Concept Scale (PSCS). In assessing the self-concepts of 175 fourth-grade children convergent validity of the tests was not established. (Author)

This article describes an attempt to differntiate Holland's six types by means of personality need variables. Participants were administered Holland's VPI and Jackson's Personality Research Form (PRF). One-way analyses of variance revealed that PRF variables could not differentiate Holland's six types. (Author)

This study determined if there were any significant differences between groups of counselees and noncounselees when compared on the basis of Holland's six personality types as assessed by the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI). No significant differences were found between counselees and noncounselees. (Author)
