Abstract

Competition, economic reasons, miscellaneous obligations, personal interest, interesting material and indirect incentives are methods employed in obtaining cooperation and proper rapport with subjects taking personality tests. It is suggested the indirect approach be developed further in personality testing and that more attention be paid to what the subject thinks about the test.
