Written by one of the world's most eminent personality
theorists, this book provides a simply written, comprehensive
introduction to recent research about personality structure and the
nature of individual differences. The Scientific Analysis of
Personality offers the essence of Cattell's work on personality
testing, reviewing the experimental, quantitative and statistical
research which with the aid of the electronic computer is now
producing remarkable new discoveries.
After preliminary surveys of the methods by which personality
can be studied and of hereditary influences on personality, the
author expounds the core of his work on factor analysis and source
traits of excitability, dominance, ego and super-ego strength.
Chapters on the techniques of objective measurement, the motivation
of personality, and the ways in which learning and growing up can
be scientifically assessed conclude in a final overview of the
wider social implications of personality measurement.
Simplicity of presentation combined with a useful glossary of
terms will encourage students and layman alike in the analysis of
personality. The book will serve as a basic reference to current
research methods for psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists,
educators and all engaged in mental testing.
