The Role of Personality Assessment in the Schools: A Conversation with Dr. Raymond B. Cattell.

Krug, Samuel E.

School Psychology Digest, v7 n2 p26-35 Spr 1978, 78

Cattell emphasizes that research on the personality structure should precede scale development; in this way, personality tests will approach the precision of ability tests. He discusses testing trends and the contribution of personality tests to the school setting--specifically to the prediction of achievement, underachievement, problem behavior, and vocational choice.
