Abstract

This article deals with character tests and to other techniques of personality testing not covered in the previous chapters of the journal. It is noted that checklists and behavior-rating devices designed to determine social maturity, self-help, or quality of behavior were developed or further studied from preschool to adult levels. Meanwhile, while the main function of a test of mental ability is usually to measure intelligence, such tests have recently been applied increasingly to the measurement of personality as well.
