Abstract
Pattern analysis has considerable potential for personality assessment. Unfortunately, past methods (e.g., peak element scores or analysis of variance for repeated measures) were often found too complex and/or elements could not be analyzed separately. A deviation score method of pattern analysis was proposed which yields results independent of group differences in performance and permits analysis of individual elements. Examples were given of the productive use of the method in studies using WAIS subtests, MMPI clinical scales, and physiological measures. This method offers a simple and convenient system for interpreting data from groups with inherent differences in level of performance.Keywords
