Factor Analytic Study of the Test, what Kind of Person are You?

Abstract

A factor analysis of 645 responses to What Kind of Person Are You? test, a 50-item inventory of self-perception of creativity, yielded five factors: Acceptance of Authority, Self-confidence, Inquisitiveness, Awareness of Others and Disciplined Imagination. The analysis gives some support to the construct validity of the measure, providing a more sensitive appraisal of an individual's self-perceptions including creative and less creative orientations.
