It’s always fascinating to gain insight into what makes you tick. Getting right to the point, a new measure of personality makes the process reasonably quick and easy.
Quick measures of personality that meet scientific standards can provide important self-understanding.
According to University of Alabama’s Dustin Wood and colleagues , the Hogan instruments have unique contributions to make to the understanding of personality because, unlike other trait-based measures, they come from the socioanalytic theory tradition. In this view of personality, the traits that matter are the ones that allow you to “get along” and “get ahead” when you’re in social settings.
Another problem with multi-item scales, besides their length, is that they obscure the meaning of the items respondents are asked to answer, or what’s called “jingle.” They also create a “jangle” problem in that items supposedly measuring the same thing but with different wording create statistical confusion. You may say you like to talk to people in one item on anscale, but demur if asked whether you would go up to a stranger at a party and start to chat.
It probably didn’t take you long to rate yourself on each of these items given how direct they are. These 20 items fall by groupings of four into the five major factors that the UA team identified in the second sample: volatile, sociable , diligent, sensitive, and creative. You might also have found the labels to be helpful, reducing some of the “jingle” that the terms may otherwise have fallen prey to.
