    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Personality Assessment

    Background:

    • The 16PF (Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire) is a widely used measure of normal adult personality.
    • Understanding the common score profiles within diverse populations is crucial for accurate interpretation and application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and validate distinct clusters of 16PF score profiles within a mixed sample of students and adults.
    • To assess the replicability of identified clusters across different analytical techniques and subsamples.

    Main Methods:

    • Cluster analysis was performed on 16PF data from 300 subjects (50% male, 50% female).
    • Three distinct clustering procedures were employed: nonhierarchical average linkage, minimum variance, and K-means.
    • Subjects were divided into three equal subsamples to ensure cross-validation and replicability.

    Main Results:

    • Four distinct profile clusters emerged from the analysis.
    • These four clusters were consistently replicated across two or three subsamples.
    • Replicability was confirmed across all three clustering methods utilized.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully identified and validated four replicable 16PF personality profile clusters in a mixed student and adult sample.
    • These findings contribute to a more robust understanding of personality structure and provide a basis for further research and clinical application.
