- Title
THE SIXTEEN PERSONALITY FACTOR TEST IN CLINICAL PRACTICE.
- Authors
Karson, Samuel
- Abstract
The article presents information about the Sixteen Personality Factor (PF) Test, in which two groups of U.S. Air Force male psychiatric patients were compared with a well-adjusted group of Air Force enlisted men. There were no significant differences among the two groups with respect to age, educational achievement or Intelligent Quotient Integration. The test also discriminated the "normals" from the "somatizers" on seven personality factors. When the two patient groups were compared, significant differences emerged on three factors. These results strongly support the concept validity of certain factors on the 16 PF test. The findings also suggest that this test is not easily subject to motivational distortion by psychiatric patients inclined to be resistive and hostile.
