title: [The validity of self assessment scales (personality questionnaires)].
abstract: Departing from the increasing use of personality questionnaires for psychodiagnosis, the limits of these measuring instruments are critically pointed out. Methodical ways for the overcoming of error sources are discussed. A large part of the paper is concerned with the problems of control scales. Further necessary steps with regard to the determination of the validity of self-assessments are presented in outlines.
