Challenging three standardized emotional tests for validity and employability

Abstract

The Downey Will-Temperament Test, the Pressey X-O Tests, and the Brotemarkle Comparison Test were given to twenty college freshmen. Statistical comparison of averages and total test scores showed decided lack of correlation. Clinical analyses of individual cases on the basis of test profiles compared favorably with observational analyses, and in some cases indicated previously unrecognized maladjustments.
