Cattell Ti factor personality questionnaire. Cattell's questionnaire: test methodology and interpretation
While working on the creation of the 16PF multifactor personality questionnaire, 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
Multifactorial personality questionnaire The 16PF consists of 105 questions to which the test taker answers by choosing one of three alternatives. In a special answer form, the test taker marks 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. Based on the testing data, a 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 different numbers 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
The questionnaire test contains 105 questions. In order for you to be able to determine your personal qualities, try to answer them sincerely and as accurately as possible. You must answer each question by choosing one of three alternatives (a, b, c), which most closely matches your views, your idea of yourself.

Processing test results
1. Calculation of the sum of “raw” points by factors. To calculate “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 Forms. Such matrices are given in some methodological manuals. If there are no such matrices, then the modernized Answer Form presented on the next page is quite suitable for calculating the amount of “raw” points (hereinafter referred to as “points”) for each of the factors of the 16PF questionnaire test. In such a Form, indices 1 and 2 indicate points for the corresponding alternative answers (a, b, c) for each of the 105 test questions. The form was tested in the Tallinn branch of the Practical School and directly at the School practical psychology St. Petersburg.
Students noted that calculating raw points in such forms does not cause difficulties, while working with matrices is not convenient enough or often these matrices are simply absent.
In the Answer Sheet, personality factors are indicated in the column on the left. Each of the factors corresponds to a specific line.
The scores for each factor are calculated by summing the subscripts 1 and 2 (i.e., points) for those alternative answers (a, b, c) that were marked (circled) by the subjects.
The result of the summation for each factor is entered in the right column (each factor has its own line).
The maximum number of points for the MD indicator (sincerity scale) is 14. The maximum number of points 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) are assigned only one point (index 1). For all other factors, the maximum number of points does not exceed 12.
2. Checking test results for sincerity. Processing test results begins with checking the test taker’s answers to sincerity(according to MD indicator). If the MD value is > 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 about them. In this case, the test results are considered unreliable and no further processing or interpretation is performed.
If the MD value is 5–8, the reliability of the test result is questioned. The experimenter decides on the possibility of further processing of research data, based on the goals and objectives of the psychodiagnostic examination (research). An MD value of 1–4 points characterizes the truthfulness of the subject. Next, translation into walls (conditional points on a 10-point scale), construction of the subject’s personal profile, analysis and interpretation of research data are carried out.
3. Converting “raw” points into walls and building a personal profile. Conditional Sten scores (the term comes from a combination of the words "standard ten") are distributed over ten points with a sample mean of 5.5 Sten. Walls 5 and 6 make up the bulk of the sample (assuming a normal distribution). The obtained “raw” points for each of the factors are converted into walls (conditional points on a 10-point scale). In table 2 shows such a conversion of raw points into walls.
The walls, in turn, are divided into levels: walls 1–4 – low level; 5–6 walls – average level: 7-10 walls – high level. Walls are the initial data for constructing a personality profile. The personality profile for a hypothetical subject is shown in Fig. 6.
4. Analysis and interpretation of testing data. Characterological personality traits are analyzed and interpreted based on the scores obtained on 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 general terms, the interpretation of the primary factors of the 16PF test is as follows.

F 1 – anxiety – adaptability; F 2 – introversion – extraversion;
F 3 – sensitivity – reactive balance; F 4 – conformity – independence. Secondary factors are calculated using the formulas:
F 1 = [(38 + 2L + 30 + 4Q 4) – 2(C + H + Q 3)]: 10;
F 2 = [(2A + 3E + 4F + 5H) – (2Q 2 + 11)]: 10;
F 3 = :10;
F 4 = [(4E + 3M + 4Q 1 + 4Q 2) – (FOR + 2C)]: 10.
Factor F1:(-) anxiety – (+) adaptability
Low scores – life as a whole 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 to achieve difficult goals.

High scores – independence, aggressiveness, courage, acumen, intelligence, speed, initiative.
In the practice of working with students of the Tallinn branch of the Practical School, correlations were identified between various indicators of organizational and communicative qualities, determined according to the method of L.P. Kalininsky, and the corresponding factors of the 16PF test questionnaire. For example, such indicators as “efficiency”, “dominance” are directly dependent on high values of factor Q (desire control) and low values of factor O (self-confidence), and the indicator “confidence” - on high values of factor A (goodwill ) and factor E (carelessness), low values of factor I (gullibility).
The Cattell Questionnaire is one of the most common questionnaire methods for assessing 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 for writing a wide range of individual-personal relationships. Distinctive feature of this questionnaire is its focus on identifying relatively independent 16 factors (scales, primary traits) of personality. This quality was revealed using factor analysis from the largest number 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 for professional diagnosis important qualities, in sports and scientific research.
The Cattell questionnaire includes all types of tests - assessment, test decision, and attitude to any phenomenon.
Procedure
Before the survey begins, the subject is given a special form on which he must make certain notes as he reads it. The corresponding instructions are given in advance, containing information about what the subject should do. Control test time is 25-30 minutes. In the process of answering questions, the experimenter controls the time the subject works and, if the subject answers slowly, warns him about this. The test is carried out individually in a calm, business-like environment.
Instructions
Here are questions that will help you find out the characteristics of your character, your personality. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, since everyone is right in relation to their own 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 form. There are three possible answers to each question.
Example:
1. I like to watch team games: a) yes b) sometimes c) no
2. I prefer people: a) reserved b) find it difficult to answer c) quickly establish friendly contacts.
3. Money cannot bring happiness: a) yes b) I don’t know c) no
4. A woman is in the same relationship to a child as a cat is to: a) a kitten b) a dog c) a boy.
On last question there is a correct answer: kitten. But there are very few such questions. If anything is unclear to you, contact the experimenter for clarification. Do not start without a signal from the experimenter.
When answering, remember the following four rules:
- You don't have time to think about it. Give the first, natural answer that comes to your mind. Of course, the questions are formulated too briefly and not 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 asked about “ 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 in advance.
- Try not to get carried away with average, vague answers, unless... You really can't pick an edge case. Perhaps it will be in one of four or five questions.
- Don't skip questions. Answer all the questions in a row at least somehow. 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 disclosed and cannot be obtained without a special “key”. Answers for each separate question are not viewed.
- Answer as honestly as possible what is true for you. But write what you think would be more correct to say in order to impress the experimenter.
Processing the results
The received data is processed using a key.
The coincidence of the subject’s answers with the “key” is assessed as two points for answers “a” and “c”, the coincidence of the answer “b” is scored as 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 into walls (standard units) using the tables provided.
Tables for converting raw points into walls (Form A)
Table for converting raw points 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 the “-” sign, and the second half (from 5.5 to 10) the “+” sign. From the available indicators for all 16 factors, a so-called “personality profile” is constructed.
In addition to the original 16 factors, four second-order factors can be identified.
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 factors in the profile, especially those indicators that in the “negative” pole are within the boundaries of 1 to 3 walls, and in the “positive” pole » - 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 that form symptom complexes of communicative, intellectual, emotional and regulatory personal properties. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only the pole values of the factors, but also the average ones, which are quite often found in the practice of psychologists.
The group of communicative properties is formed by the following factors:
- A – sociability
- N – courage
- E – dominance
- L – suspicious
- N – diplomacy
- Q2 – independence.
The group of intellectual properties includes the following factors:
- B – intelligence
- M – dreaminess
- N – diplomacy
- Q1 – receptivity to new things.
The group of emotional properties combines the following factors:
- C – emotional stability
- F – carelessness
- H – courage in social contacts

- O – anxiety
- Q4 – tension
The group of regulatory personality traits includes the following factors:

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 – values of the corresponding factors in the walls.
2. Extraversion
F2 = : 10,
Where “10” is a normalizing constant,
A, E, F, H, Q 2 – 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 the “–” sign, and 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 in the “negative” pole are in the range from 1 to 3, and in the “positive” pole – from 8 to 10 walls.
