The measurement of fundamental character traits by a new diagnostic test
Abstract
Notes that the field of mental testing or mental measurements has taken within the last few years a very definite place in psychological investigation. It is not only possible to determine whether an individual is bright or dull; but rather accurate measurements are in vogue in determining the degrees of brightness and dullness. On the other hand, in connection with nonintellectual traits, we have a very different attack upon the individual. It is with nonintellectual traits, or the individual's character makeup, or personality that we are primarily interested in in this study. Accurate measurements in this field are very meager and conspicuously lacking at the present time in comparison to the measurements of intellectual ability and educational attainments. The purpose of this study is to determine what the outstanding traits are, and the degrees of strength of the traits and mechanisms, of the individual character or personality. The test devised in this study has been used for the purpose of gaining a little more insight into the individual character or personality. The results show some very favorable leads toward a possible clue in the measurement of character, as will be gleaned from the data presented in this article.Preview Only.
