The point is that even though I am perfectly aware of how to do such, the question is why bother. The test itself is not anything great. Its high in social desirability, and has no real control scales. For entertainment purposes only.
The research I did with questionnaires used more standardized stuff, such as the NEO+, MMPI-R, WAIS-R, etc along with more specific assessments. Some of the more specialized questionnaires measured style of attentional processing or the tendency to become very much involved in environmental or cognitive events to the exclusion of other attentional factors. Much more specific stuff than what was presented here. I'd never even consider such stuff valid without a larger battery of questionnaires and a couple of diagnostic interviews. But if I saw something I didn't like about myself in this sort of thing, I'd look at what my health insurance allows and talk with a professional psychologist or counselor. larry -- Larry C.
