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.
