Abstract
A modified item-iteration procedure was used in the construction of a self-administering biographical inventory comprising 10 relatively independent, homogeneous, and reliable subscales. The inventory "consists of factual questions that are assumed to be less productive of distorted response or unpleasant emotional associations than items usually constituting personality inventories." Limitations of use in its present form, and deficiencies of sampling are discussed, and future development plans are described.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
