Use of the Kuder Preference Record, Personal, with police officers

Abstract

What sort of scores do policemen receive on the Kuder? It was tried out on 49 police officers. The scores were compared with ratings by their supervisors, "done under a nine-class forced distribution system." Scores were also compared with published norms. High and low scorers on each of the 5 scales of the Kuder Preference Record, Personal, were described. "Comparison with Kuder norm group data yielded highly significant differences in preferences for avoiding conflict and for directing others."
