Shared variance in the California Psychological Inventory and the California Q-Set
Abstract:
On a composite sample of 940 individuals assessed at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research, a series of analyses examining the extent and nature of correspondence between (a) observer descriptions of personality using the California Q-Set and (b) scores on the standard scales of the self-report California Psychological Inventory was performed.
