Overview

The psychometric view of personality is well-established but little dealt with in most textbooks. Personality: the Psychometric View sets out psychometric methods and clearly describes the technicalities of testing and factor analysis. In it, Paul Kline discusses different types of personality tests and examines the main findings from the application of these tests and methods. He further shows their utility in the applied fields of clinical, occupational and educational psychology, as well as drawing out many theoretical implications. Personality: the Psychometric View is the only text on the psychometric analysis of personality which is written for students, yet also deals with the technical problems in this area, and reviews the work of all the main researcher such as Cattell, Eysenck, Guilford, and Jackson. Personality: the Psychometric View is designed for all students of psychology, education and the social sciences, as well as those in the medical sciences who need to know about personality. Like its companion volume Intelligence: the Psychometric View , it will also be useful to more advanced postgraduates who need to use personality tests in their work.
