Abstract

In many personality and interest inventories a score profile, rather than a single score, is attributed to each subject. Six applicable criteria are suggested for use in examining the adequacy of items in such inventories. Two of these criteria relate to the response distribution on each item, two to the internal consistency of the items and two to the discriminative value of the items.
