The Cattell Questionnaire is one of the most common questionnaire methods for assessing the individual psychological characteristics of a person both abroad and in our country. It was developed under the direction of R.B. Cattell and is intended to write a wide range of individual-personal relationships. A distinctive feature of this questionnaire is its focus on identifying relatively independent 16 factors (scales, primary traits) of personality. This quality of theirs was revealed using factor analysis from the largest number of superficial personality traits, originally identified by Cattell. Each factor forms several surface features, united around one central feature.

There are 4 forms of the questionnaire: A and B (187 questions) and C and D (105 questions). In Russia, forms A and C are most often used. The questionnaire is most widely used in medical psychology in the diagnosis of professionally important qualities, in sports and scientific research.

The Cattell Questionnaire includes all types of tests - both assessment, and the solution of the test, and attitude to any phenomenon.

Procedure

Before the start of the survey, the subject is given a special form on which he must make certain notes as he reads. Preliminary, an appropriate instruction is given containing information about what the subject should do. The control time of the test is 25-30 minutes. In the process of answering questions, the experimenter controls the time of the subject's work and, if the subject answers slowly, warns him about it. The test is conducted individually in a calm, business-like environment.

Instruction

Here are questions that will help you find out the features of your character, your personality. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers, as everyone is right in relation to their own views. Try to answer sincerely and accurately. At the beginning, you should answer the four questions that are given as a sample and see if you need any further clarification. You must cross out the box corresponding to your answer on the special answer sheet. There are three possible answers for each question.

Example:

1. I like to watch team games: a) yes b) sometimes c) no

2. I prefer people: a) reserved b) difficult to answer c) quickly establishing friendly contacts.

3. Money cannot bring happiness: a) yes c) I don’t know c) no

4. A woman is in the same relation to a child as a cat is to: a) a kitten c) a dog c) a boy.

There is a correct answer to the last question: a kitten. But there are very few such questions. If something is not clear to you, ask the experimenter for clarification. Do not start without the experimenter's signal.

When answering, remember the following four rules:

1. You don't have time to think. Give the first, natural answer that comes to your mind. Of course, the questions are formulated too briefly and in detail for you to choose what you would like. For example, the first question in the examples asks you about "team games". You may be more into football than basketball. But you are being asked about the “average game”, about the situation that on average corresponds to this case. Give the most accurate answer you can. You must finish answering no later than half an hour.
2. Try not to get carried away with average, vague answers, except when. You really can't pick an edge case. Perhaps it will be in one of four or five questions.
3. Don't skip questions. Answer at least somehow to all the questions in a row. Some questions may not be very suitable for you, but still give the best that you can offer in this case. Some questions may seem too personal, but remember that the results are not made public and cannot be obtained without a special "key". Answers to each individual question are not viewed.
4. Answer as honestly as possible what is true for you. But write what you think it would be more correct to say in order to impress the experimenter.

Results processing

The received data is processed using the key.

The coincidence of the answers of the subject with the "key" is estimated at two points for the answers "a" and "c", the coincidence of the answer "b" - one point. The sum of points for each selected group of questions results in the value of the factor. The exception is factor "B" - here any match of the answer with the "key" gives 1 point.

The resulting value of each factor is converted to walls (standard units) using the tables below.

Tables for converting raw scores into walls (form A)

Table for converting raw scores into walls (form C)

The walls are distributed on a bipolar scale with extreme values ​​of 1 and 10 points. Accordingly, the first half of the scale (from 1 to 5.5) is assigned a “-” sign, the second half (from 5.5 to 10) is assigned a “+” sign. From the available indicators for all 16 factors, the so-called "personality profile" is built.

In addition to the original 16 factors, four second-order factors can be distinguished.

Formulas for calculating four secondary factors:

Secondary factors are calculated only for walls.

1. Anxiety (F1).

2. Introversion - extraversion (F2).

3. Sensitivity (F3).

4. Conformity (F4).

Interpretation of results

Description of primary factors

Description of secondary factors

When interpreting, attention is paid primarily to the "peaks" of the profile, i.e. the lowest and highest values ​​of the factors in the profile, especially those indicators that are in the "negative" pole within the boundaries of 1 to 3 walls, and in the "positive" » - from 8 to 10 walls.

Interpretation of Combinations of Primary Factors

When interpreting the results obtained, it is advisable to use not only the severity of individual factors, but also their combinations, which form symptom complexes of communicative, intellectual, emotional and regulatory personality traits. In this case, one should take into account not only the pole values ​​of the factors, but also the average ones, which are quite often encountered in the practice of a psychologist.

The group of communicative properties is formed by the following factors:

• A - sociability
• N - courage
• E - dominance
• L - suspicion
• N - diplomacy
• Q2 - independence.

The group of intellectual properties includes the following factors:

• B - intelligence
• M - daydreaming
• N - diplomacy
• Q1 - susceptibility to the new.

In the group of emotional properties, the following factors are combined:

• C - emotional stability
• F - carelessness
• H - courage in social contacts
• I - emotional sensitivity
• O - anxiety
• Q4 - tension

The group of regulatory personality traits includes the following factors:

• Q3 - self-discipline
• G - moral normativity

result:

The result of the test is a profile of your personality, built on the basis of 16 factors identified during the survey. Factors are measured in arbitrary units - "walls" - and distributed on a bipolar scale with extreme values ​​of 1 and 10 points. Accordingly, the first half of the scale (from 1 to 5.5) is assigned the “-” sign, the second half (from 5.5 to 10) is assigned the “+” sign. When interpreting, attention should be paid, first of all, to the “peaks” of the profile, that is, the lowest and highest values ​​of the factors in the profile (the corresponding parts of the text are in bold), in particular, to those indicators that in the “negative” pole are in the range from 1 to 3 walls, and in the "positive" - ​​from 8 to 10 walls.

Interpretation of secondary factors

. Factor F1 (“low anxiety – high anxiety”) = 9.7 (F1+)

A low value (F1−) is typical: in general, this person is satisfied with what he has and can achieve what he thinks is important. However, very low scores may indicate a lack of motivation in difficult situations.

A high value (F1+) is characterized by: a high level of anxiety in its usual sense. Anxiety is not necessarily neurotic, as it can be situationally conditioned. However, in some ways it has incapacity, because a person is dissatisfied to a degree that does not allow him to fulfill the requirements and achieve what he wants. Very high anxiety usually interferes with productivity and leads to physical disorders.

. Factor F2 ("introversion - extraversion") = 5.2 (F2+)

A low value (F2−) is characterized by: a tendency to dryness, to self-satisfaction, frozen interpersonal contacts. This can be beneficial in work that requires precision.

A high value (F2 +) is characterized by: social contact, uninhibited, successfully establishes and maintains interpersonal relationships. This can be a very favorable moment in situations requiring this type of temperament. This feature should always be considered a favorable prognosis in activities, for example, in studies.

. Factor F3 ("sensitivity - balance") = 6.9 (F3+)

A low value (F3−) is characterized by: a tendency to experience difficulties due to the emotionality that manifests itself in everything. These people may be dissatisfied and frustrated. However, there is a sensitivity to the nuances of life. There are probably artistic inclinations and softness. If such a person has a problem, then it takes a lot of thought to resolve it before taking action.

A high value (F3 +) is characterized by: an enterprising, decisive and flexible personality. This person tends to ignore the nuances of life, directing his behavior to be too obvious and obvious. If difficulties arise, they cause rapid action without sufficient thought.

. Factor F4 ("conformity - independence") = 11.9 (F4+)

A low value (F4−) is characterized by: a group-dependent, passive person who needs the support of other people and orients his behavior in the direction of the people who provide such support.

A high value (F4 +) is characterized by: aggressive, independent, courageous, sharp personality. Tries to choose situations where such behavior is at least tolerated. Shows great initiative.

Validity scales

In addition to the primary personality factors of the questionnaire, two indicators are usually calculated that reflect attitudes towards testing (validity scales):
1) the desire to look in a favorable light - the MD scale,
2) the desire to look worse than it actually is - the FB scale.

MD scale was designed to identify instances where subjects attempt to create an overly favorable self-image. If the MD score is high, there are several hypotheses that need to be tested:
1. This may indicate that the subject deliberately manipulates the test results (for example, when applying for a job).
2. A high score on the MD scale can be obtained by subjects who are very worried about how they look in the eyes of others. In interviews, they usually acknowledge this fact, but at the same time claim that they answered the questions sincerely.
3. Sometimes people score high on the MD scale even though they don't skew the results. For example, this is typical for people entering religious service.

FB scale was designed to identify subjects who were excessively saddened and preoccupied with their failures, real or imagined. The two most common situations in which the FB score is high are:
1. A person seeks to emphasize his psychological maladjustment in order to receive psychological assistance.
2. Emphasizing one's failures and inadequacy can be caused by real depression or other serious disorders.

Interpretation of Pair Combinations of Primary Factors

. The combination of factors B and M characterizes the intellectual capabilities of the individual.

High values ​​of factors B and M mean high intellectual abilities, passion for abstract ideas. Easily solves abstract problems, quickly establishes cause-and-effect relationships between phenomena. Has a rich imagination, developed figurative thinking. At the same time, thinking is logical and has a high level of generalization.

. The combination of factors C and I characterizes the sensitivity of the individual to emotional influences.

The average values ​​of factors C and I are typical for a person who maintains emotional balance mainly in a familiar environment. With the unexpected appearance of additional difficulties, a short-term feeling of anxiety and helplessness arises. Strong emotional reactions are possible in those situations that deeply affect actual needs.

. The combination of factors H and F reflects the propensity for risky behavior.

The average values ​​of the factors H and F reflect the desire of a person to find the positive in life. However, it is not possible to completely disconnect from troubles, from everyday problems. He believes in luck if the situations are familiar and you can use proven behavioral strategies and problem solving. Risks wisely. Risky situations attract when the risk is justified and success is realistically achievable.

. The combination of factors O and Q4 characterizes different manifestations of anxiety as a personality trait.

High values ​​of factors O and Q4 describe a person who often worries about possible failures and unpleasant events, regrets his past actions. Dissatisfied with himself, feels guilty, which creates difficulties in relationships with others. Painfully endures criticism in his address. Praise, compliments are accepted with great distrust. He perceives obstacles on the way to achieving the goal as insurmountable, he tends to fixate on the unpleasant sides of events, which hinders the search for a way out of problem situations.

. The combination of factors Q3 and G characterizes self-regulatory abilities.

Low values ​​of factors Q3 and G are typical for those who deviate from the desired goal as soon as internal or external obstacles appear. Often acts disorganized. He does not know how to plan and rationally allocate his time. Behavior is regulated mainly by personal, momentary desires and needs, so it does not always fit into the traditional framework. Their capabilities are not always evaluated critically. Fairly free of moral norms.

In the process of creating a multifactorial personality questionnaire 16PF, R. Cattell identified 16 different personality traits. Each of them received a double name characterizing the degree of development - strong and weak (Table 1).

Table 1

The 16PF Multivariate Personality Questionnaire consists of 105 questions to which the subject answers by choosing one of three alternatives. In a special answer sheet, the subject notes the chosen alternatives for each of the 105 questions. At the end of the test, scores are calculated for each of the 16 personality factors. According to the testing data, the personality profile of the subject is drawn. Test data is analyzed and interpreted.

It should be borne in mind that R. Cattell developed various modifications of factor models with a different number of factors included in them, but the most famous modification is the 16PF personality questionnaire. An adapted version of this questionnaire in Russian translation is given below.

Testing instructions

There are 105 questions in the test-questionnaire. In order for you to be able to determine your personal qualities, try to answer them sincerely and as accurately as possible. For each question, you must answer by choosing one of three alternatives. (a, b, c), which is most consistent with your views, your idea of ​​yourself.

Choosing your answer (a,b or with) for each subsequent question, write it on the Answer Sheet, enclosing the appropriate alternative, for example, in a circle. The form is given at the end of the test-questionnaire.

The average pace of the test is 5-6 answers per minute. All questions are given 30 minutes.

Processing test results

1. Calculation of the sum of "raw" scores by factors. To calculate the raw scores for each of the 16 factors of the 16PF personality questionnaire, you can use special matrices with holes that are superimposed on the Answer Sheets. Such matrices are given in some methodological manuals. If there are no such matrices, then the updated Answer Sheet presented on the next page is quite suitable for calculating the sum of the “raw” scores (hereinafter “scores”) for each of the factors of the 16PF questionnaire. In this Form, indexes 1 and 2 indicate the scores for the corresponding alternative answers (a, b, c) for each of the 105 questions of the test. The form was tested in the Tallinn branch of the School of Practical and directly in the School of Practical Psychology in St. Petersburg.

Students noted that the calculation of raw scores in such Forms does not cause difficulties, while working with matrices is not convenient enough or often these matrices simply do not exist.

In the Answer Sheet, personality factors are indicated in the column on the left. Each of the factors corresponds to a specific line.

Scores are calculated for each of the factors by summing subscripts 1 and 2 (i.e., scores) for those alternative answers (a, b, c) that were marked (circled) by the subjects.

The summation result for each of the factors is put down in the right column (each factor has its own line).

The maximum score for the MD indicator (sincerity scale) is 14. The maximum score for factor B (intelligence) is 8. For this factor, one of the alternatives (a, b, c) for each of the questions (3, 20, 37, 54, 71, 88,104, 105) only one point was assigned (index 1). For all other factors, the maximum score does not exceed 12.

2. Checking test results for sincerity. The processing of test results begins with checking the answers of the subject to sincerity(in terms of MD). If the value of the indicator MD> 9, it is considered that the subject did not answer the questions sincerely or did not want to cooperate with the experimenter and gave answers at random without thinking them over. In this case, the test results are considered unreliable and their further processing and interpretation is not performed.

With an MD value of 5–8, the reliability of the test result is questioned. The experimenter decides on the possibility of further processing of the research data, based on the goals and objectives of the psychodiagnostic examination (research). The value of the MD indicator of 1–4 points characterizes the truthfulness of the subject. Further, the transfer to the walls (conditional scores of a 10-point scale), the construction of the personal profile of the subject, the analysis and interpretation of the research data are carried out.

3. Translation of "raw" scores into walls and building a personal profile. The conditional scores in the walls (the term comes from the combination of the words "standard ten") are distributed over ten points with a sample mean value of 5.5 walls. Walls 5 and 6 make up the bulk of the sample (it is assumed that the distribution is normal). The obtained "raw" scores for each of the factors are converted into walls (conditional scores on a 10-point scale). In table. 2 shows such a translation of raw scores into walls.

The walls, in turn, are divided into levels: 1-4 wall - low level; 5-6 walls - medium level: 7-10 walls - high level. The walls are the initial data for building a personality profile. The personality profile for a hypothetical subject is shown in fig. 6.

4. Analysis and interpretation of test data. The characterological personality traits are analyzed and interpreted based on the scores obtained for the relevant factors and the personality profile of the subjects. Various literary sources describe the features of the characterological profile of a person depending on the level indicators of the walls.

In a generalized form, the interpretation of the primary factors of the 16PF test is as follows.

Factor a.

F 3 - sensitivity - reactive balance; F 4 - conformity - independence. The calculation of secondary factors is carried out according to the formulas:

F 1 \u003d [(38 + 2L + 30 + 4Q 4) - 2 (C + H + Q 3)]: 10;

F 2 \u003d [(2A + 3E + 4F + 5H) - (2Q 2 + 11)]: 10;

F3=:10;

F 4 \u003d [(4E + 3M + 4Q 1 + 4Q 2) - (ZA + 2C)]: 10.

Factor F1:(-) anxiety - (+) adaptability

Low scores - life in general satisfies a person. However, low scores on this factor indicate a lack of motivation. A person does not strive for a big deal, does not set himself the achievement of difficult goals.

Kalininsky, and the corresponding factors of the 16PF questionnaire test. For example, indicators such as "efficiency", "dominance" are directly dependent on high values ​​of the factor Q (control of desires) and low values ​​of the factor O (self-confidence), and the indicator "confidence" is directly dependent on high values ​​of the factor A (goodwill). ) and factor E (carelessness), low values ​​of factor I (gullibility).

Interpretation of pair combinations of primary factors.

When interpreting the results obtained, it is advisable to use not only the severity of individual factors, but also their combinations, which form symptom complexes of communicative, intellectual, emotional and regulatory personality traits. In this case, one should take into account not only the pole values ​​of the factors, but also the average ones, which are quite often encountered in the practice of a psychologist.

The group of communicative properties is formed by the following factors:

A - sociability
N - courage
E - dominance
L - suspicion

Secondary factors of R. Cattell's questionnaire.

Secondary factors are calculated only for walls.

1. Anxiety
F1 = : 10,
Where "38" is a normalizing constant,
L, O, Q 4 , C, H, Q 3 - the values ​​of the corresponding factors in the walls.

2. Extraversion
F2 = : 10,
Where "10" is a normalizing constant,
A, E, F, H, Q 2 - the values ​​of the corresponding factors in the walls.

3. Emotional lability
F3 = : 10,
Where "77" is a normalizing constant,
C, E, F, N, A, I, M - values ​​of the corresponding factors in the walls.

4. Dominance
F4 = : 10
Where E, M, Q 1 , Q 2 , A, G are the values ​​of the corresponding factors in the walls.

The walls are distributed on a bipolar scale with extreme values ​​of 1 and 10 points. Accordingly, the first half of the scale (from 1 to 5.5) is assigned a "-" sign, the second half (from 5.5 to 10) is assigned a "+" sign. From the available indicators for all 16 factors, the so-called "personality profile" is built. When interpreting, attention is paid, first of all, to the "peaks" of the profile, that is, the lowest and highest values ​​​​of factors in the profile, especially those indicators that are in the "negative" pole within the boundaries of 1 to 3 walls, and in the "positive" » - from 8 to 10 walls.

DATA PROCESSING:

The processing of the received data is carried out using the "key". The coincidence of the answers of the subject with the "key" is estimated at two points for the answers "a" and "c", the coincidence of the answer "c" - one point. The sum of points for each selected group of questions results in the value of the factor. The exception is factor "B" - here any match of the answer with the "key" gives 1 point.

The resulting value of each factor is translated into walls using the tables below.

The walls are distributed on a bipolar scale with extreme values ​​of 1 and 10 points. Accordingly, the first half of the scale (from 1 to 5.5) is assigned the sign "-", the second half (from 5.5 to 10) the sign "+". From the available indicators for all 16 factors, the so-called "personality profile" is built. When interpreting, attention is paid, first of all, to the "peaks" of the profile, that is, the lowest and highest values ​​​​of factors in the profile, especially those indicators that are in the "negative" pole within the boundaries of 1 to 3 walls, and in the "positive" » - from 8 to 10 walls.

An example of building a "PERSONALITY PROFILE"

The set of factors is also analyzed in their interrelations in such blocks, for example:

Intellectual features: factors B, M, Q 1 ;

Emotional-volitional features: factors C, G, I, O, Q 3 , Q 4 ;

Communicative properties and features of interpersonal interaction: factors A, H, F, E, Q 2 , N, L.

In addition to the original 16 factors, it is possible to single out the "c-gear factor of the second order.

Formulas for calculating four secondary factors:

1. Anxiety. (F1).

F 1 \u003d [(38 + 2 "L" + 30 + 4 "Q 4") - 2 ("C" + "H" + "Q 3")]: 10

2. Introversion - extraversion. (F2).

F 2 \u003d [ (2 "A" + 3 "E" + 4 "F" + 5 "H" - (2 "Q 2" + 11)]: 10

3. Sensitivity. (F3).

F 3 \u003d [(77 + 2"C" + 2"E" + 2"F" + 2"N") - (4"A" + 6"I" + 2"M")]: 10

4. Conformity. (F4).

F 4 = [(4"E" + 3"M" + 4"Q 1 "+ 4"Q 2") - (3"A" + 2"C")]: 10
