Personality

 

These instruments measure a variety of personality-related constructs. For example, the Personality Adjective Check List is a rating measure of Theodore Millon's eight basic personality patterns; the Group Embedded Figures Test explores areas such as analytical ability, social behavior, and problem solving style through a measure of field dependence-independence; the Social Skills Inventory evaluates verbal and non-verbal social competence and emotional intelligence.

Personality refers to individual differences in behavior patterns, cognition, and emotion. Personality is a popular subject of research, and numerous instruments are available to measure specific or more broad aspects of personality.
