A Personality Analysis Test

This is a description and preliminary statistical study of a personality inventory of 239 items representing the everyday experience of normal people. It is interpreted according to the theories of Freud, Korzybski, Simmel, Lewin, and others, and in terms of certain concepts of interactional sociology. Twentyseven variable factors are measured by short, overlapping subtests. Two of these factors are considered as basic to the rest and are used to define five types of personality. The statistical results on a selected sample of 350 cases indicate significant differences (1) among the five basic types, (2) between adolescents and adults, (3) between men and women, and (4) between well-adjusted and "problem" personalities.
