Personality description from the WAIS: a comparison of systems.
The present study compares an atheoretical, actuarial method for obtaining personality and behavioral descriptions from WAIS profile patterns to the Personality Assessment System--the theoretical system developed by J. Gittinger for the same purpose. Interest was focused on both the determination of group membership by the two systems, and on the resultant personality descriptions. The PAS theory based sorting systems did identify the target group of the actuarial approach well, and the personality descriptors were found to have distinct resemblance, though certainly not complete overlap.
