Global Factor scores from Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) were correlated with Holland codes using mean 16PF profiles from 69 occupational groups as data. Unlike prior studies, this study features occupational groups as the unit of analysis. Two analyses were done to test expectations, (a) 16PF scores would significantly discriminate among Holland types and (b) 16PF mean scores for each type would differ from the population mean in a direction consistent with prior research. Results met expectations on each analysis. Findings for two of the Global Factors (Anxiety and Self-control) warranted special comment. Interpretations were offered and implications discussed.

Previous research has shown correlations between normal personality variables of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and Axis II personality disorder scales using the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. This study ( N = 37) compared variables from the adolescent version of the 16PF, the High School Personality Questionnaire, Revised, including the new Clinical Supplement and the MMPI scales of Morey, et al. and yielded results similar to those from earlier studies with other inventories. Extraversion scores correlated positively with those on Narcissistic and Histrionic scales, negatively with scores on Schizoid, Avoidant, and Schizotypal scales; scores on Independence had a similar pattern.

The relationship between occupational preferences and personality traits was examined. A randomly chosen sample of 735 students (age range = 17 to 23 years; 50.5% male) in their last year of high school participated in this study. Participants completed Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor–5 Questionnaire (16PF–5 Questionnaire) and the Kuder–C Professional Tendencies Questionnaire. Initial hierarchical cluster analysis categorized the participants into two groups by Kuder–C vocational factors: one showed a predilection for scientific or technological careers and the other a bias toward the humanities and social sciences. Based on these groupings, differences in 16PF–5 personality traits were analyzed and differences associated with three first-order personality traits (warmth, dominance, and sensitivity), three second-order factors (extraversion, control, and independence), and some areas of professional interest (mechanical, arithmetical, artistic, persuasive, and welfare) were identified. The data indicated that there was congruency between personality profiles and vocational interests.

The utility of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Fifth Edition (16PF) as an indicator of mentor effectiveness was examined. A random sample of the 16PF scores of 74 mentors was drawn from a population of 837 mentors from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Caseworkers rated mentor's effectiveness using a rubric developed for this purpose. The rubric showed good interrater agreement. Caseworkers' ratings of mentor's effectiveness was used to rate mentors systematically as appropriate or inappropriate. The 16PF scores of mentors were compared at an alpha level of .05 for appropriate and inappropriate groups using independent t tests and multivariate analysis of variance, which reflected significant differences between male and female mentors on Factors E and Q3. Significant differences were also found between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” mentors on Factors L and Q4. These differences reflected only moderate effect sizes and lacked practical significance or meaning. The results suggest that, while the 16PF discriminates statistically between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” mentors, in terms of practical significance, the questionnaire is not particularly useful as an initial screening tool.

Objective: To investigate the psychiatric symptomatology and personality characteristics of Korean senior high school students considered to use the Internet to excess. Method: We administered a questionnaire packet to students that included 4 measures. These measures included a questionnaire on Internet use patterns during the previous month, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF). A total of 328 students, aged 15 to 19 years, participated in the study. Results: Students were divided into 4 Internet user groups according to their IAT total scores: nonusers ( n = 59, 18.0%), minimal users ( n = 155, 47.3%), moderate users ( n = 98, 29.9%), and excessive users ( n = 16, 4.9%). The SCL-90-R showed that the excessive users group, when compared with the other groups in this study, reported the highest levels of symptomatology. The 16PF also revealed that excessive users were easily affected by feeling, emotionally less stable, imaginative, absorbed in thought, self-sufficient, experimenting, and preferred their own decisions. Conclusions: This study suggests that senior high school students who use the Internet to excess report and subsequently exhibit significantly more psychiatric symptoms than students who use the Internet less frequently. In addition, excessive users appear to have a distinctive personality profile when compared with nonusers, minimal, and moderate users.

The objective of this study was to determine the fairness of the 1992 South African version of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF, SA92) for various groups and to contribute to the knowledge on the profiles of specific career groups. The use of this questionnaire was evaluated on employees of a multicultural South African financial institution. The profiles of males and females were compared. So too were the profiles of individuals tested in their first language (Afrikaans or English) and individuals who indicated that their home language is an African language but who were tested in English. A comparison with the general population showed differences in primary and second-order factors, most of which could be explained in terms of the occupational type. Although there did not seem to be a need for specific norms, some cultural and gender-specific trends were found that should be considered when interpreting results on the 16PF, SA92. The factor structures of the total sample and the various subgroups were essentially the same and justified the use of the formulae for the second-order factors given in the manual. However, group-specific trends were also found in the constructs measured and these should be considered for the interpretation and usage of the scores on the primary and second-order traits.

Introduction. The autobiographical memory is a subjective reflection of the passed life path segment, which is the fixation, preservation, interpretation and reproduction of significant events and states. Autobiographical memory always operates with a “personally related experience”. Personality differences are always manifested in autobiographical memories. They are of great interest to researchers. The purpose of the article is to find out the personality differences of autobiographical memory. Materials and Methods. Theoretical analysis of literature on the research problem; the free retrieval of events technique, The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) by Raymond B. Cattell (Form-C); correlation analysis. Results. The authors conducted an empirical study, which involved people aged 18 to 82 years. The results of the study allow saying about the personal differences of autobiographical memory in terms of the number of reproduced events with different signs and events from diverse fields of life. Confident, calm, emotionally stable people tend to remember the positive events (from free event replay list) more, unlike restless, emotionally unstable and underconfident people. The relationships between personal characteristics and the number of memories from various fields of life were revealed. Discussion and Conclusions. The autobiographical memory as a kind of long-term memory organized according to the semantic principle provides for each person the formation of the past subjective history and the experience of oneself as a unique subject. The obtained data can be used in the practice of the consulting psychologist, in the process of student’s education in general psychology, personality psychology and differential psychology courses. Keywords: autobiographical memory, event retrieval, personality, positive memories, negative memories, neutral memories, fields of life.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>This study focused on the 16PF (SA 92), a personality questionnaire that was developed in the USA and adapted for South African conditions. The main aim of the study was to determine whether the scores of the 16PF are comparable in a cross-cultural setting in South Africa. The influence of age, language, socio-economic status and gender on the scores were also determined. The sample consisted of black, white, coloured, and Indian university students and were drawn from the University of Western Cape, University of Pretoria, University of Durban-
Westville, and University of Natal To achieve the aims outlined construct comparability studies and item comparability studies were conducted. In addition, descriptive statistics were also calculated to provide a general picture of the performance of the various sub-samples. A qualitative study was also conducted to determine some of the reasons for the occurrence of item incomparability of the racial sub-sample. The results showed that the racial variable had the greatest influence on the scores obtained. Problems existed with the construct and item comparability of the 16PF when the different race groups were compared. In addition, significant mean differences were also found on the
majority of factors when the scores of the different race groups were compared. The results of the qualitative study showed that participants whose home language was not English or Afrikaans had difficulty in understanding many of the words and the construction of sentences contained in the 16PF. The implications of using the 16PF in South Africa, with its multicultural population was outlined, taking the new labour legislation pertaining to selection into consideration. Finally, a number of options for test users, and users of the 16PF in particular were presented.

Nesta Tese replicamos por constructo uma pesquisa européia que encontrou para conhecedores da astrologia médias mais altas em Extroversão entre sujeitos dos signos de Fogo e Ar comparados com sujeitos de Terra e Água, formando um padrão dente-de-serra previsto em função da alternância zodiacal entre signos de Elementos Quentes (Fogo e Ar) e Frios (Terra e Água), como sendo efeito da auto-atribuição, já que a mesma variação não se deu para sujeitos não conhecedores. Também se encontrou, no entanto, maior suscetibilidade à informação vinda de fora sobre sua personalidade para os Quentes, o que não invalidou totalmente a teoria astrológica. Encontrou-se lá, além disso, maior média geral em Extroversão para os conhecedores. Usamos o 16 PF Questionário dos 16 Fatores de Personalidade com 589 sujeitos brasileiros de ambos os sexos, diferenciando entre conhecedores (208) e não conhecedores (381) da astrologia, sendo o conhecimento constituído da crença na astrologia mais a descrição de três características do signo solar. Para estimular a influência da auto-atribuição, foi dada a parte do grupo (266) a sugestão Esta é uma pesquisa sobre astrologia, enquanto para a outra parte (323) foi dito que seria uma pesquisa sobre personalidade. Investigamos variações em função dos Elementos astrológicos, através da Análise de Variância (ANOVA), em todos os fatores do 16 PF, mais Extroversão, Ansiedade e Controle. Não aparecem diferenças significativas para a Extroversão isoladamente, mesmo entre os conhecedores. Os conhecedores se descreveram como tendo significativamente maior Extroversão e maior Ansiedade, comparados aos não conhecedores, sugerindo um locus de controle externo. Confirmou-se no grupo dos conhecedores que a maior média geral em Extroversão é devida aos sujeitos do subgrupo dos signos Quentes, e a maior média em Ansiedade é devida aos sujeitos do subgrupo dos signos Frios, indicando a confirmação da maior suscetibilidade à informação vinda de fora sobre suas personalidades para os Quentes. Investigamos, além disso, se a auto-atribuição de origem astrológica afeta não apenas o autoconceito, mas as habilidades da pessoa, através dos 13 itens da Inteligência do 16 PF. Para o grupo de não conhecedores a Ansiedade foi maior para os Quentes do que para os Frios, segundo seus componentes Estabilidade Emocional e Tensão. Este resultado apontou que a Ansiedade, como fator não intelectivo, induziu uma variação de base astrológica na Inteligência. Sugere-se um fator de suscetibilidade diferenciada ao mundo externo segundo a escala Frio-Quente. São analisadas as possíveis explicações teóricas e implicações desses achados.<br>In this thesis we constructively replicate an european research that found for astrology knowledgeable subjects higher means on Extraversion among subjects of Fire and Air signs, compared with subjects of Earth and Water, compound a saw-tooth pattern due the zodiacal alternation between signs of Hot (Fire and Air) and Cold (Earth and Water) Elements, as an effect of the self-attribution, since the same variation was not found for no knowledgeable subjets. Also was found, however, a difference on susceptibility to information about their personality from outside for the Hots, what didnt invalidate totally the astrological theory. That research found, furthermore, higher mean in Extraversion for that knowledgeable subjects. We applied the 16PF Test Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire to 589 brazilian subjects of both sexes, classifying between knowledgeable (208) and no knowledgeable (381) of astrology, being this knowledge constituted by the believe in astrology and by the naming of three characteristics that go with the sunsign. In order to trigger the self-attribution effect, part of the group (266) was given the cue This is a research into astrology, while to the other part was given research into personality. We investigate variations by dependence on the astrological Elements, by the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), on all the 16 PF factors, more Extraversion, Anxiety and Control. Didn´t appear significant differences to the Extraversion alone, yet among the knowledgeable. The knowledgeable subjects describe theirselves significantly as having higher Extraversion and Anxiety, suggesting an external locus of control, by comparision with the no knowledgeable. It was confirmed that for the knowledgeable the higher general mean in Extraversion is due to the subjects pertaining to the subgroup of the Hot signs, and the higher general mean in Anxiety is due to the subjects pertaining to the subgroup of the Cold signs, indicating a confirmation of the higher susceptibility to information about their personality from outside among the Hots. We investigate, furthermore, if the astrological self-attribution affects not only the self-concept, but also the actual performance, with the 13 items of Intelligence in the 16PF. For the no knowledgeable group the Anxiety was higher for the Hots than to the Colds due to their components Emotional Estability and Tension. This finding pointed to that Anxiety, as a non-intellective factor, induced the astrologically based variation for Intelligence. It is suggested, as much to knowledgeable as to no knowledgeable subjects, a factor of differenciated susceptibility to the outer world due the Cold-Hot scale. Are analysed the possible theoretical explanations and implications of these findings.

Since selection criteria are both subjective and objective and the procedure itself time consuming, the model would have to incorporate these aspects and also save time. For these reasons the possibility of utilizing a single assessment instrument, the 16PF, was investigated. The experimental design compared two methods of selection. These were (i) the traditional method involving interpersonal contact between selectors and candidates and (ii) a statistical method involving the 16PF. were tested. Three hypotheses i That the 16PF would discriminate significantly between selected and selected students. ii That a pattern of objective criteria would emerge. iii That some subjective criteria would be identified. All three hypotheses were subsequently confirmed. Recommendations for the future utilization of the model are made.

The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the potential effect of sudden loss on the personality structures of bereaved individuals. For this purpose, I focused on the individual personality structures of five nuclear family members during the first year following the sudden loss of their daughter/sister. I followed a concurrent nested mixed model research approach and relied upon both the post-positivist and interpretivist paradigms, allowing me to integrate the complementary strengths of quantitative and qualitative data collection by means of triangulation. I utilised a within group interrupted time series design, comparing the family’s MBTI® profiles prior to and following the sudden loss they had experienced. In addition, I incorporated the results of 16PF profiles of the participants administered post-sudden loss. I further substantiated my findings in terms of recurring themes on individual metaphors concerning the sudden loss experience, constructed by the participants. The findings of the study indicated that distinct changes in personality structures occurred in terms of the personality structures of the participants. Pertaining to the four polarities of the MBTI®, I found that the participants displayed a greater preference for the Introversion attitude, as well as both the Sensing and Feeling functions, after they had experienced sudden loss. All participants displayed an inclination towards personal growth by moving closer to the Judging/Perceiving axis post-sudden loss. In addition, two general tendencies were evident amongst the participants, namely a greater dependence on the inferior functions; and secondly the tendency to rely on type exaggeration when dealing with sudden loss.<br>Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2008.<br>Educational Psychology<br>unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
M.A.<br>This study investigates whether a relationship exists between the self-concept and personality of a student and his academic achievement. The self-concept is defined as a set of beliefs about the self and the relationships between those beliefs that may mediate behaviour in certain situations. It is regarded as a key factor in the integration of personality, in motivating behaviour and achieving mental health. Various theorists have contributed towards the study of the self-concept, amongst them William James, Cooley and Mead, Erik Erikson, and Carl Rogers. To maintain our self-concept, we reflect on what others tell us about ourselves and compare our own performance to that of others. The role of social comparison theory is therefore important because it explains this phenomenon. It appeared as if a strong self-concept act as a predictor of good academic achievement. The self, social comparison and intelligence also appear to play an important role within the boundaries of academic achievement. Self-concept plays an important role in the development of personality and vice versa. Cattell’s explanation of personality provides insight into the link between traits and self-concept. This study controlled for extraneous variables, such as intelligence. Apart from self-concept, personality traits were further investigated to determine their association with self-concept and academic achievement. This study was mostly exploratory by nature and has as a future aim the development of an intervention, which can be implemented to enhance both self-concept and academic achievement. The sample comprised 44 grade nine male and female students at St Barnabas College. The instruments used for this study included the Cattell’s Culture Fair Intelligence Test, the Beck’s Self-Concept Scale, and the High School Personality Questionnaire. The results pertaining to the research hypotheses indicated that there is no significant correlation between self-concept and academic achievement and also no significant correlation between intelligence and academic achievement. No correlation was also found between self-concept and factors of the HSPQ. A significant correlation was, however, found between some of the factors of the HSPQ and academic achievement. It is possible that some students may find their physical appearances more important than a positive self-concept. A failure in school can therefore not influence their self-concept. This may explain why no correlation was found between self-concept and academic achievement. Verbal intellectual count has been found to show a high correlation with academic achievement. However, the Cattell Test is non-verbal and this can therefore account for the fact that no significant correlation between intelligence and academic achievement was found. Students may develop an identity, which may not necessarily be a positive identity, which goes hand-in-hand with a positive self-concept. This might explain why no significant correlation between self-concept and the factors of the HSPQ has been found. This study found that a correlation does exist between three factors of the HSPQ and academic achievement. Factors of personality therefore do have some correlation with academic achievement. It is recommended that future research investigate this relationship. The small sample size of this study limits its generalisation possibility and it is further recommended that cultural aspects be brought into consideration.<br>Mr. G. Kruger

Summary in English<br>Research was conducted to determine whether the 16-PF can be used as an objective
measurement for the selection of prospective educational psychologists. A wellgrounded
literature study was performed about the task of the educational psychologist
and skills and personality features which make the task of the educational psychologist
easier. The task of the educational psychologist is not of an individual nature, directed
at individual problems any more, but covers a wide field which demands that the
educational psychologist comes forward with new initiatives. The traditional task of
diagnosing, assisting, administrating and conducting research must be extended to one
which also emphasizes proactive programmes, mental health, prevention of problems
and human development. The nature of the task makes high demands on the
educational psychologist and requires the mastering of a variety of skills.
A large variety of factors have been found in literature which could make the task of the
educational psychologist easier. These factors can be grouped together as cognitive
factors, factors which contribute to the creation of an educational climate and
accompanying interpersonal relations and rapport, factors which indicate the use of an
external reference framework, and factors which indicate mental health. These
identified factors were related to the factor patterns of the 16-PF and were derived to
personality factors. These latter factors which were thus obtained, were used to compile
a personality profile for educational psychologists.
The following personality profile for educational psychologists was derived from the
literature study: outgoing (affectothymia; A+), high intelligence (B+), higher ego
strength (C+), higher superego strength (G+), socially venturesome (H+), shrewdness
(N+) and self-assuredness (0-). According to literature, withdrawal (A-) and dominance
(E+) are regarded as negative features of the educational psychologist.
The personality profile was assessed by experts with the use of the Delphi technique.
From the results of the Delphi investigation it appears that the experts support the
suggested personality profile. The personality features are regarded as extremely
important, and comment on the personality profile was positive.
The findings of the research contribute to the solution of the problem around the
selection of educational psychologists since an objective assessment of the prospective
student's abilities can be obtained by means of the 16-PF.<br>Psychology of Education<br>D. Ed. (Sielkundige Opvoedkunde)

Full textAbstract:
The authors review the published, peer-reviewed studies relevant to two questions: What psychological constructs underlie police officer suitability and fitness? and What assessment instruments provide empirically validated measures of these constructs? In addressing the second question, the authors focus on examples of research related to the most commonly used instruments in these suitability and fitness evaluations (i.e., current versions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, California Psychological Inventory, Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, and Personality Assessment Inventory). The discussion is limited to a review of studies published in peer-reviewed journals and pertaining only to versions of the test currently supported by the test’s publisher.
