Finally got time to go to the psychologist to get my 16pft analyzed. Hmmm.. its a test that was devised by Cattel .and is a questionnaire based thing....the most important factor in it is that it is about self awareness..how well do u know yourself..at first i thought its pretty easy to fake .. but then there is a distortion score which lets you know how true you have been ..!!
The validity of this .. i dont know .. cos when the test is based on your answers about yourself .. then ofcourse the results have to be agreeable to you .. i mean after all it tells you how you look at yourself ..!!so by default the results will appear to be true to you .. hmm but then comes the question of is it really correct .. does it give a true picture .. or only a picture seen through your own eyes ..??
Then there is the Eysencks personality inventory(EPI) ..and again ..the Minessotta multiple personality inventory (MMPI)..does it make myself more self aware now that i am analysed and all .??...in a way having your personality traits being put into words .. having actual adjectives being used to describe yourself is a strange experience in itself . Quite a rarity in india infact ..... would i have ever done it if it wasnt part of my practicals ..i doubt it.
