Validity of an emotional key on a short industrial personality questionnaire.

Abstract

This is the third in a series of papers dealing with the objectivity, emotionality, social dominance, and drive scores on a short personality questionnaire designed for industrial use. It is concluded that this form is a valid screening device for indicating neuroticism. The form used is not available for general use although it is apparent that other personality questionnaires can be made that will be as valid and as short as the one used.

Personality test scores in the management hierarchy.

“…Test, is a brief industrial personality test developed and described in the literature by previous S. J. & H. psychologists headed by H. F. Rothe (1,3,4) and subsequently improved by increasing the number of items from SO to 75 and modifying the trait scoring keys according to the results of an item analysis. The tests were scored on seven trait keys with 8 to 12 items in each trait key and with simple scoring of items without weighting.…”
