A Two‐part Personality Measure for Use as a Research Criterion

present paper describes development and evaluation of a 20 min. two‐part personality measure suitable for use as a research criterion in a wide variety of situations. One part provides a score of emotional maladjustment based on twenty of seventy‐four items, having an internal consistency of 0.81; other part a score of sociability based on twelve of thirty‐six items, having an internal consistency of 0.74. Evidence is presented for validity of both scores, and for their independence of age and intelligence as assessed in adequately heterogeneous samples.
