    Study Notes

    Personality Assessment: Theories and Measurement Tools

    • Personality assessment includes maximum ability and typical behavior domains, with this lecture focusing on the latter.

    • Personality assessment tools measure constructs such as fear of missing out, depression, and anxiety through self-report inventories.

    • Personality is defined as the characteristic way of feeling, thinking, perceiving, and acting, with different theories resulting in different personality tests.

    • Personality theories can be divided into general process and structural/descriptive theories, with the latter focusing on individual differences and measurement playing a significant role.

    • The Five Factor Model is the most accepted structural theory, measuring differences between individuals on five dimensions of personality.

    • Traits are a predisposition to consistently respond to situations in a certain way, commonly used in various professional settings.

    • Reliable and valid measurement tools, including self-report measures and observations, are essential in personality assessment.

    • Self-report inventories, or personality questionnaires, are standardized instruments for assessing personality, with questions written with identical instructions and response options for every participant.

    • Self-report inventories measure variables such as normal and abnormal variations of personality, and response format can be absolute or comparative.

    • Advantages of self-report inventories include being relatively easy and economical to construct and administer, while disadvantages include assuming accurate perception and no self-deception from respondents.

    • Response tendencies such as faking good or bad can interfere with the validity of self-report inventories, and cognitive factors such as attention and comprehension can affect responses.

    • Specific personality measurement tools include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, NEO PI-3, and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, each with their own structure, usage, and limitations.Overview of Personality Scales and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

    • Personality scales involve items rated as true or false, focusing on disordered personality patterns.

    • Scales include those for detecting clinical personality patterns, severe pathology, clinical and severe syndromes, and response styles.

    • Interpreting personality measures involves examining response style indices before global or individual factor scores.

    • These tests are not diagnostic, but provide valuable information on personality traits and tendencies, and must be used judiciously.

    • Response styles include debasement, disclosure, invalidity, and inconsistency.

    • The MBTI is widely used in organizational settings for selection and team placement.

    • Developed by Myers in 1962, it was revised in 1985 and criticized for questionable reliability and validity.

    • The MBTI's premise is that people have definite preferences in how they approach, perceive, judge, and orient themselves to the world.

    • Four bipolar dimensions of the MBTI include extroverted/introverted, sensation/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judgment/perception.

    • Scores indicate a type rather than fall on a continuum, with 16 possible types.

    • The MBTI uses an ipsative approach, comparing scores within an individual's own profile, and a forced-choice format with no response style indices.

    • Criticisms of the MBTI include questions about its construct validity, poor test-retest reliability, and the tendency for individuals to become attached to their four-letter type.
