Study Notes
The Development of the 16PF Personality Test
- Cattell used factor analysis to reduce thousands of psychological traits into 16 basic dimensions of human personality.
- Cattell's background in physical sciences influenced his belief in seeking fundamental underlying elements in all fields.
- Cattell's disappointment with the lack of scientific bases in psychology led him to create the 16PF Questionnaire to measure fundamental traits of human personality.
- Cattell worked with Charles Spearman at the University of London to apply factor analysis to the area of personality, aiming to discover basic, underlying, universal dimensions.
- The Lexical Hypothesis, proposed by Allport and Odbert in 1936, served as the basis for identifying personality traits by extracting 4500 personality-describing adjectives.
- Cattell and his colleagues conducted international research to identify and map out the basic underlying dimensions of personality, using factor analysis to reduce the massive list of traits.
- The 16 Personality Factors were identified in 1949 by Raymond Cattell by utilizing L-Data, Q data, and T-data to adequately map out personality.
- Cattell organized the list of 4500 adjectives into fewer than 171 items and used factor analysis to reveal an 11 or 12 factor solution.
- In 1949, Cattell found 4 additional factors, which he believed consisted of information that could only be provided through self-rating.
- The ILLIAC I, available in 1952, was used for factor analysis, and together with the original 12 factors, the 4 covert factors made up the original 16 primary personality factors.
