PERSONALITY STRUCTURE CHECKED IN PRIMARY OBJECTIVE TEST FACTORS,FOR A MIXED NORMAL AND PSYCHOTIC SAMPLE

An experiment was undertaken to determine how far the consistent personality structure previously found separately in noma1 and psychotic populations, in terms of factors measured in objective behaviaral perfomance within the age of a joint normal-psychotic population. One hundred variables embodied in 66 types of subjects were chosen to mark 18 known factors measured on 114 adult (men and women) normals and 228 psychotics. The number of-factors measured by the test was 24. They rotated to a very conspicuous simple structure resolution reaching 82% in the hyperplane. By Burt's congruence test 20 of these matched the factors (the 18 intended, plus 2 others) as known in the homogeneous population.
