title: The effects of personality traits on Memory-For-Designs performance.
abstract: Examined 241 Memory-For-Designs protocols for the drawing styles of closure difficulty, figure-size expansion, and figure-size constriction. Chi squares then were employed to compare those data with the personality traits of the Ss. Personality traits were assessed through use of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. The major conclusion drawn from the data analysis was that regardless of his or her personality trait, a S will perform like most other Ss in relation to Memory-For-Designs test behavior. The Ss were university students between the ages of 18 and 23, male or female, who were U. S. citizens attending Emporia State University. Initially, Ss were given the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire in groups. Ss who met sample qualifications on the personality test were asked to return for an individual follow-up test with the Memory-For-Design.
