Instruction.

You are offered a number of statements, each of which implies a question relating to you about whether this statement corresponds or does not correspond to some peculiarities of your behavior, individual actions, attitudes towards people, outlook on life, etc. If you think that such a match takes place, then give the answer "Yes", otherwise - the answer "No".

Processing and analysis of FPI test results.

The first question is not included in any of the scales, since it has a test character. Questionnaire scales I – IX are basic, or basic, and X – XII are derivatives, integrating. Derived scales are composed of questions from the main scales and are sometimes denoted not by numbers, but by the letters E, N and M, respectively.

Analysis of the results should begin with reviewing all the answer sheets, specifying what answer was given to the first question. If the answer is negative, which means the test taker is unwilling to answer frankly to the questions posed, the study should be considered invalid. With a positive answer to the first question, after processing the research results, the graphic image of the personality profile is carefully studied, all high and low marks are highlighted. Low scores include grades in the range of 1-3 points, medium - 4-6 points, high - 7-9 points. Particular attention should be paid to the assessment on the IX scale, which is important for general characteristics the reliability of the answers.

Processing of results. The first procedure deals with obtaining primary, or "raw" estimates. For its implementation, it is necessary to prepare matrix forms of the keys of each scale based on the general key of the questionnaire. For this, in the blank answer sheets, identical to those used by the subjects, "windows" are cut out in the cells corresponding to the question number and the answer option. The templates obtained in this way, one by one, in accordance with the serial number of the scale, are superimposed on the answer sheet filled in by the investigated person. The number of marks (crosses) that coincide with the "windows" of the template is counted. The values ​​obtained are entered into the column of the primary scores of the protocol.

The second procedure involves converting the primary grades into standard grades on a 9-point scale using a table. The obtained values ​​of the standard estimates are indicated in the corresponding column of the protocol by applying a symbol (circle, cross, etc.) at the point corresponding to the value of the standard estimate for each scale. Connecting the designated points by straight lines, we obtain a graphical representation of the personality profile.

The interpretation of the results obtained, the psychological conclusion and recommendations should be given on the basis of an understanding of the essence of the questions in each scale, the deep connections of the studied factors with each other and with other psychological and psychophysiological characteristics and their role in human behavior and activity.

FPI test interpretation and decoding

Brief decoding of scales.

Scale I (neuroticity) characterizes the level of personality neurotization. High marks correspond to a pronounced neurotic syndrome of the asthenic type with psychosomatic disorders.

Scale II (spontaneous aggressiveness) allows you to identify and assess the psychopathization of the intensive type. High marks indicate an increased level of psychopathization, which creates the preconditions for impulsive behavior.

Scale III (depression) makes it possible to diagnose signs characteristic of psychopathological depressive syndrome. High scores on the scale correspond to the presence of these signs in the emotional state, in behavior, in attitudes towards oneself and the social environment.

Scale IV (irritability) provides an indication of emotional stability... High scores indicate an unstable emotional state with a tendency to an affective response.

The V scale (sociability) characterizes both potential opportunities and real manifestations of social activity. High marks allow us to speak about the presence of a pronounced need for communication and constant readiness to meet this need.

Scale VI (poise) reflects resistance to stress. High marks indicate good immunity to the stress factors of ordinary life situations, based on self-confidence, optimism and activity.

Scale VII (reactive aggressiveness) aims to reveal the presence of signs of extra-intensive psychopathization. High marks indicate high level psychopathization, characterized by an aggressive attitude towards the social environment and a pronounced desire for domination.

Scale VIII (shyness) reflects a predisposition to stress response to normal life situations, proceeding according to the passive-defensive type. High scores on the scale reflect the presence of anxiety, stiffness, insecurity, which results in difficulties in social contacts.

Scale IX (openness) allows one to characterize the attitude towards the social environment and the level of self-criticism. High marks indicate a desire for confidential and frank interaction with people around with a high level of self-criticism. Estimates on this scale can, to one degree or another, contribute to the analysis of the sincerity of the respondent's answers when working with this questionnaire, which corresponds to the lie scales of other questionnaires.

X scale (extraversion - introversion). High scores on the scale correspond to a pronounced extraversion of the personality, low - to a pronounced introversion.

Scale XI (emotional lability). High scores indicate instability emotional state, manifested in frequent mood swings, increased excitability, irritability, insufficient self-regulation. Low marks can characterize not only high stability of the emotional state as such, but also good self-control.

Scale XII (masculinism - feminism). High marks indicate the course of mental activity mainly according to the male type, low - according to the female type.

Interpretation of the results obtained.

Scale number 1. Neuroticism.

Most common features persons with high marks on the scale of "neuroticism" are high anxiety, excitability in combination with rapid exhaustion. These features make them related to persons with a weak type. nervous system.

In the case of high values ​​of the factor "neuroticism", as in the case of the sensitive type of the nervous system, the leading feature is a decrease in the thresholds of excitability, increased sensitivity. As a result, non-essential and indifferent stimuli easily cause outbursts of irritation and excitement.

Usually, those functions that are marked by increased excitability are characterized by increased exhaustion and fatigue. Therefore, the increased excitability of persons with high values factor "neuroticism", as well as persons with a weak type of nervous system, is combined with increased exhaustion, which manifests itself in the rapid extinction of outbursts of excitement.

For persons with low marks the factor "neuroticism" is characterized by calmness, ease, emotional maturity, objectivity in assessing oneself and other people, constancy in plans and affections. They are active, active, proactive, ambitious, competitive and competitive. They are distinguished by seriousness and realism, a good understanding of reality, and high demands on themselves. They do not hide their own shortcomings and failures from themselves, do not get upset over trifles, feel well adapted, willingly obey group norms.

Apparently, the general picture of behavior is characterized by a feeling of strength, vigor. Health, freedom from anxiety, neurotic constraint, from overestimating oneself and one's personal problems and from excessive concern about the possible rejection of them by other people.

Scale number 2. Spontaneous aggressiveness.

High marks on the scale of "spontaneous aggressiveness" "indicate a lack of social conformity, moderate self-control and impulsiveness. Apparently, this is due to insufficient socialization of drives, inability or unwillingness to restrain or delay the satisfaction of their desires. These persons have a strong attraction to acute affective experiences, in the absence of which a feeling of boredom prevails.The need for stimulation and exciting situations makes any delay unbearable.They seek to satisfy their desires immediately in direct behavior, without seriously thinking about the consequences of their actions, they act impulsively and ill-considered. Therefore, they do not benefit from their negative experience, they repeatedly have difficulties of the same nature.

With superficial contacts, they are able to make a favorable impression on others due to freedom from restrictions, relaxedness and self-confidence. They are talkative, willingly participate in collective events, respond vividly to any events that occur (messages, spectacles, incidents, etc.), find novelty, interest even in everyday small matters. However, the lack of restraint and prudence can lead to various excesses (drunkenness, idleness, neglect of one's duties), which cannot but alienate others. Low marks on the scale of "spontaneous aggressiveness" indicate an increased identification with social requirements, conformity, compliance, restraint, caution of behavior, possibly a narrowing of the range of interests and weakening of drives. To such persons, everything seems boring and uninteresting, they are indifferent and tired of everything. They do not see anything attractive in events that captivate others, they also do not have their own hobbies. They do not like changes, they treat the new with caution, with prejudice, they value commitment more than giftedness.

Scale number 3. Depressiveness.

High marks on the scale "depression" is characteristic of persons with a lowered background of mood. Immersed in their own experiences, they cause hostility, irritation in others. They can be considered arrogant, inaccessible, avoiding communication due to excessive self-esteem. However, behind the external facade of alienation and gloom is hidden sensitivity, emotional responsiveness, constant readiness for self-sacrifice. In a close circle of close friends, they lose their constraint and fenced off, come to life, become cheerful, talkative, even jokers and humorists. In business they are characterized by diligence, conscientiousness, commitment, combined with conformity and indecision, inability make a decision without hesitation and uncertainty.Any activity for them is difficult, unpleasant, proceeds with a feeling of excessive mental stress, quickly tires, causes a feeling of complete powerlessness and exhaustion.

They are especially sensitive to intellectual stress. It is difficult to achieve long-term intellectual tension from them. Getting tired quickly, they lose the arbitrariness of control. mental processes, complain of a general feeling of heaviness, laziness, emptiness in the head, which comes to lethargy.

Here, apparently, general psychomotor retardation, accompanying a decrease in mood, is affected, which also manifests itself in the slowness of speech and thinking. They are often reproached for slowness, inoperativeness, lack of persistence and decisiveness. Most often, they are not capable of prolonged volitional effort, they are easily lost, they fall into despair. In what has been done, they see only mistakes and mistakes, and in what is to come - insurmountable difficulties. They experience real troubles especially painfully, they cannot get them out of their heads, again and again they blame themselves "for all mortal sins." The events of past and present life, regardless of their actual content, cause remorse, an oppressive premonition of misfortune and misfortune.

Low marks on the scale "depression" reflect natural cheerfulness, energy and enterprise. The subjects of this group are distinguished by wealth, flexibility and versatility of the psyche, interpersonal relationships, self-confidence, success in performance different types activities that require activity, enthusiasm and determination. However, lack of constraint and lack of control over your impulses can lead to broken promises, inconsistency, carelessness, which leads to loss of trust and resentment from friends.

Situations with high degree uncertainties are not tolerated well, considering them as difficult to overcome. They get lost easily, fall into despair. Acutely experiencing their failure, they may, along with self-accusatory reactions, demonstrate hostility towards others. Conflicting behavior it is usually the most frequently chosen form of protection against traumatic experiences. Demonstration traits can be combined with a desire to leave the circle of broad social contacts.

Persons with high marks on the factor of "irritability" they are prone to inconstancy, shy away from fulfilling their duties, ignore generally accepted rules, do not make efforts to comply with social requirements and cultural norms, disregard moral values, for their own benefit are capable of dishonesty and lies.

High scores for the "irritability" factor are more typical for persons with a stable range of neurotic reactions, but they can also be manifested in asocial psychopaths and offenders. For persons with low values factor "irritability" is characterized by such traits as a sense of responsibility, conscientiousness, perseverance moral principles... In their behavior, they are guided by a sense of duty, strictly observe ethical standards, and always strive to fulfill social requirements. These persons are deeply decent, not because they watch their behavior, but because of their internal standards and exactingness towards themselves.

It is typical for persons whose profession requires accuracy, commitment and conscientiousness: administrators, lawyers, notaries, proofreaders, etc.

Scale number 5. Sociability.

For high values the factor "sociability" is characterized by the richness and brightness of emotional manifestations, naturalness and ease of behavior, willingness to cooperate, sensitive, attentive attitude to people, kindness and kindness. Such persons are sociable, have many close friends, and in friendship they are caring, sympathetic, warm in relationships, always show a lively participation in the fate of their comrades, know about their experiences, joys and worries.

Such people are characterized by others as conflicting, stubborn, fenced off and disordered in behavior. Lack of conformity and discipline is the most common external characteristic of their behavior. A more detailed individual characteristic of persons with a high level of disorder of behavior can be obtained from assessments on the lower-level scales that form this factor.

Scale number 7. Reactive aggressiveness .

High marks are evidence of moral inferiority, lack of higher social feelings.

Feelings of pride, duty, love, shame, etc. for such people - empty words. They are indifferent to praise and punishment, they neglect duties and moral and ethical standards.

The craving for pleasure and thrill is stronger than any delay and limitation. They strive for immediate, immediate gratification of their desires, regardless of the circumstances and desires of others. Criticism and remarks in their address are perceived as an encroachment on personal freedom. Experiencing hostile feelings towards those persons who, at least to some extent, try to control their behavior, force them to keep within socially acceptable limits.

Despite the violent affects when desires arise and the activity in obtaining satisfaction, their desires are unstable. Fatigue quickly sets in, with a feeling of boredom and irritation. Previously ready to do anything to satisfy their passion, they suddenly become cold or cruel. It gives them a special pleasure to show their power, to make people close to them suffer, whose location they have so strenuously sought until recently.

Extreme selfishness and selfishness determine all their actions and behavior. To satisfy their own desires and ambitions, they are ready to expend a lot of effort and energy, but do not consider it necessary to fulfill their obligations to other people.

High marks by factor indicate indecision and self-doubt. Such persons are afraid of everything, avoid risky situations, meet unexpected events with anxiety, and expect only troubles from any changes.

If it is necessary to make a decision, they either hesitate too much, or they postpone it for a long time and do not begin to implement it. The phase of the struggle between motives and hesitations is delayed until it is impossible to move on to a solution.

In communication, they are shy, constrained, shy, try not to get caught up, stay in the shadows and not interfere in anything. Large companies are avoided, a narrow circle of old, trusted friends prefer wide communication

Persons with low marks by the factor of "shyness", brave, decisive, inclined to take risks, do not get lost when faced with unfamiliar things and circumstances. Decisions are made quickly and immediately begin to implement them, they do not know how to wait patiently, do not tolerate delays and hesitations, duality and ambivalence. In the team they are free, independently, even somewhat impudent, they allow themselves liberties, they like to interfere in everything, to be always in sight.

Low scores for this factor are found in persons whose profession is associated with risk (acrobats, pilots, race car drivers, firefighters, stuntmen, etc.).

Scale number 9. Openness.

This scale allows you to assess the reliability of the results and to some extent correct the conclusion. It is generally accepted that if the subject scores on this scale from 8 to 10 points (primary indicators), then this result indicates his adequate response to the test procedure, his readiness to respond with minimal subjective distortions.

Scale number 10. Extraversion - Introversion.

Introverted subjects in situations of forced communication easily lose peace of mind... Perhaps for this reason, they try to maintain a distance in the relationship. However, they are not affected in their alienation, they simply try to keep in the background, not interfering in anything and not imposing their point of view. Pretense and intrigue are not peculiar to them, they respect the rights of others, value individuality and originality in people, believe that everyone has the right to their own point of view.

They pay great attention to work, see the meaning of life in this, value professionalism and craftsmanship, and regard a job well done as a personal reward.

Key points

The cognitive style questionnaire includes five attributes.

It contains a forecast of your behavior in a variety of situations.

Some aspects of personality cannot be quantified using this questionnaire.

To get an accurate idea of ​​the personality, you need to fill out several questionnaires (questionnaires).

TEST "PERSONAL QUESTIONNAIRE"

In all personality tests, you need to answer whether you agree or disagree with various statements. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. The answer you give reflects your own ideas and feelings. It is often difficult to decide exactly whether you agree or disagree with a particular statement, in which case, choose the answer that seems more correct to you.

While doing personality tests try not to think about any work, do not think about the profession at all. Think only about yourself and your attitude to various life situations. Circle the answer that seems correct to you. And while some questions are difficult to answer accurately, don't spend too much time thinking about them. A quick answer is no worse than going through the possible options for a long time.

Don't leave a single question unanswered. Below is a sample.

Example: When I sleep, I very rarely dream | And | YES NO D

If you circle NO, it means that you are actually dreaming.

Ignore the letters on the sides of YES and NO: their meaning will be explained later. You can now proceed with the part of the questionnaire.

How to measure personality test (FLAG test) 1

The letters next to the words "yes" and "no" are in no particular order and appear in both columns; this was done deliberately to make it harder to understand the true purpose of the questions. Of course, you can quickly skim through the test if you want to, because it's hard not to guess that the letters have something to do with the answers. At the same time, a messy arrangement! Asking questions is likely to make you think, take a closer look at your answers and therefore give a more truthful assessment of your personality, which is exactly what we are trying to achieve.

1 "The test is named after the first letters of the main personality traits: F (factual) - specific, fact-oriented; L (lively) - lively, cheerful; A (aggressive) - aggressive; G (group member) - focused on group membership, Opposite personal qualities are designated as follows: С (sensitive) - intuitive, sensitive; К (calm) - calm; P (passive) - passive; И (independent) - independent.

Begin your assessment of your results with Part 1 and count the number of times you ticked “yes” or “no” with the letter F. next to it. This will give you the value for F. Substitute it in the formula below. Do the same for the letters L, A and D.

Repeat this operation in part 2. Then add up the values ​​obtained for each letter in both parts of the test, and you will find out how many points you scored out of the maximum possible 20,

To check if you have counted everything correctly, take the numbers obtained for each letter in turn, and add them to the number of times when you chose the answer, next to which is the paired letter. You can see that C is paired with Ф, paired with L - K, paired with A - P and paired with G - I. In each part of the test, for each pair of letters, the sum should be 10. Maximum amount points in both part 1 and part 2 is 10.

Each of the ratings you receive characterizes one of the sides of your personality. These assessments can be considered in aggregate, and this should be done, because your personality is one in all its manifestations. However, to understand your individual characteristics at first it will be helpful to consider each of the four indicators separately.

How will it affect your career, are you specific or intuitive?

You can be specific, fact-oriented, or intuitive feeling-oriented; you may enjoy working with factual information, but you have feelings too! Therefore, it is important to understand what your results mean in this particular test.

Concreteness (F)

The F scale gives an idea of ​​how important feelings are to you and whether you want to deal with them in a work setting. Many people believe that paying attention to feelings, and this often involves understanding and respecting the opinions of others, is a hindrance to successful work. If you hold this point of view, feelings will only hinder you, and you will want to keep possible disputes to a minimum in your work.

The higher your score on the F scale, the more likely you are to have a sober, practical, business-like response to life. You probably enjoy dealing with specific problems that require a logical approach, and you are firmly on the ground. You want to see clear and definite results of your actions. You love order and system, and you probably don't like the unpredictability and incompleteness of the work.

The positive side a specific personality is the ability to clearly define the essence of any problem. Your objectivity helps you to act and succeed. You are practical and can achieve certain results. Independence and impartiality make it possible to logically analyze the situation and foresee its development.

The disadvantage of a particular personality is that emotional problems may arise that are less amenable to ordering. As a result, you are more likely to prefer a field where emotions do not "pollute" the problems you are dealing with. The severity and consistency of your thinking allows you to easily navigate the intellectual sphere, but at the expense of losing in the emotional one. You perfectly see the problems facing you, you understand them with your mind, it is much more difficult for you to feel how things are in reality, because this cannot be objectively demonstrated.

If you do well on the F scale, you are likely to be attracted to professions in which you can work with facts, information, specific objects or equipment. You may also enjoy working with people, but your focus will be on the end product or the process itself.

Intuitiveness (C)

If you get low results on the F scale, it means that you are more intuitive, focused on feelings. It is very important for you what they say to you and about you, and you pay very much attention to how it is said. Specific objects attract you much less than people. The manifestation of feelings is closer to you than logic and order.

If your F scores are low, you may have the ability to look at a problem from different angles and understand the importance of its emotional aspects. The most important for you are not objective or legal reasons for making decisions, but emotional ones.

The disadvantage of an intuitive personality is that sometimes your sense of justice can speak too loudly in you. Do you take things too personally? If so, you may even interfere with the work of other people who do not understand what is bothering you. You are probably dreamy and impractical.

If your result lies in the "intuitive part" of the F scale, you can easily become frustrated with your work when it prevents you from using your intuition. As an artistic person, you sometimes feel anxious or overwhelmed by feelings, and this excitement can find a specific artistic embodiment. Such manifestations are characteristic of art and the creative environment in general. Or you may find that your intuition is what gives you insight into other people's problems.

To get a rough idea, look for which of the following groups of professions your result on the F scale is more suitable. However, remember that these examples only take into account one personality aspect, so you will not be able to fully determine whether with one of these activities. However, you may want to consider whether you have the traits required for the professions listed below. Mark your result with a cross on the scale.

Introductory remarks. The personal questionnaire was created primarily for applied research, taking into account the experience of constructing and using such well-known questionnaires as 16PF, MMPI, EPI etc. The scales of the questionnaire are formed on the basis of the results of factor analysis and reflect a set of interrelated factors. The questionnaire is designed to diagnose mental states and personality traits, which are of paramount importance for the social process, professional adaptation and regulation of behavior.

Equipment. Questionnaire with instructions and a form of a response sheet in an amount corresponding to the number of simultaneously examined persons.

The FPI questionnaire contains 12 scales; form B differs from the full form only two times fewer questions. The total number of questions in the questionnaire is 114. One (first) question is not included in any of the scales, since it has a test character. Questionnaire scales I – IX are basic, or basic, and X – XII are derivatives, integrating. Derived scales are composed of questions from the main scales and are sometimes denoted not by numbers, but by the letters E, N and M, respectively.

Scale I (neuroticity) characterizes the level of personality neurotization. High marks correspond to a pronounced neurotic syndrome of the asthenic type with significant psychosomatic disorders.

Scale II (spontaneous aggressiveness) allows you to identify and assess the psychopathization of the intensive type. High marks indicate an increased level of psychopathization, which creates the preconditions for impulsive behavior.

Scale III (depression) makes it possible to diagnose signs characteristic of psychopathological depressive syndrome. High scores on the scale correspond to the presence of these signs in the emotional state, in behavior, in attitudes towards oneself and the social environment.

Scale IV (irritability) measures emotional stability. High scores indicate an unstable emotional state with a tendency to an affective response.

The V scale (sociability) characterizes both potential opportunities and real manifestations of social activity. High marks allow us to speak about the presence of a pronounced need for communication and constant readiness to meet this need.

Scale VI (poise) reflects resistance to stress. High marks indicate good immunity to the stress factors of ordinary life situations, based on self-confidence, optimism and activity.

Scale VII (reactive aggressiveness) aims to reveal the presence of signs of extra-intensive psychopathization. High marks indicate a high level of psychopathization, characterized by an aggressive attitude towards the social environment and a pronounced desire for domination.

Scale VIII (shyness) reflects a predisposition to stressful responses to ordinary life situations, proceeding in a passive-defensive manner. High scores on the scale reflect the presence of anxiety, stiffness, insecurity, which results in difficulties in social contacts.

Scale IX (openness) allows one to characterize the attitude towards the social environment and the level of self-criticism. High marks indicate a desire for confidential and frank interaction with people around with a high level of self-criticism. Grades on this scalecan in one way or another contribute to the analysis of the sincerity of the respondent's answers when working with this questionnaire, which corresponds to the scales of lies of other questionnaires.

X scale (extraversion - introversion). High scores on the scale correspond to a pronounced extraversion of the personality, low - to a pronounced introversion.

Scale XI (emotional lability). High marks indicate the instability of the emotional state, manifested in frequent mood swings, increased excitability, irritability, and insufficient self-regulation. Low marks can characterize not only high stability of the emotional state as such, but also good self-control.

Scale XII (masculinism - feminism). High marks indicate the course of mental activity mainly according to the male type, low - according to the female type.

Operating procedure. The study can be conducted individually or with a group of subjects. In the latter case, it is necessary that each of them have not only a personal form of the answer sheet, but also a separate questionnaire with instructions. The subjects should be placed so as not to interfere with each other during work. The research psychologist summarizes the purpose of the research and the rules for working with the questionnaire. At the same time, it is important to achieve a positive, interested attitude of the respondents to the task. Their attention is drawn to the inadmissibility of mutual consultations on answers in the course of work and any discussions among themselves. After these explanations, the psychologist offers to carefully study the instructions, answer questions if they have arisen after studying it, and proposes to go to independent work with a questionnaire.

Processing of results. The first procedure deals with obtaining primary, or “raw”, estimates. For its implementation, it is necessary to prepare matrix forms of the keys of each scale based on the general key of the questionnaire. For this, in the blank answer sheets, identical to those used by the subjects, “windows” are cut out in the cells corresponding to the question number and the answer option. The templates obtained in this way, one by one, in accordance with the serial number of the scale, are superimposed on the answer sheet filled in by the investigated person. The number of marks (crosses) that coincide with the “windows” of the template is counted. The obtained values ​​are entered into the column of primary assessments of the lesson protocol.

The second procedure involves converting the primary grades into standard grades on a 9-point scale using a table. The obtained values ​​of the standard estimates are indicated in the corresponding column of the protocol by applying a symbol (circle, cross, etc.) at the point corresponding to the value of the standard estimate for each scale. Connecting the marked points with straight lines, we get a graphical image of the personality profile.

The analysis of the results should begin with reviewing all the answer sheets filled in by the respondents, specifying what answer was given to the first question. If the answer is negative, meaning the subject's unwillingness to answer frankly to the questions posed, the study should be considered invalid. With a positive answer to the first question, after processing the research results, the graphic image of the personality profile is carefully studied, all high and low marks are highlighted. Low scores include grades in the range of 1-3 points, medium - 4-6 points, high - 7-9 points. Particular attention should be paid to the assessment on the IX scale, which is important for the overall characteristic of the reliability of the answers.

The interpretation of the results obtained, the psychological conclusion and recommendations should be given on the basis of an understanding of the essence of the questions in each scale, the deep connections of the studied factors with each other and with other psychological and psychophysiological characteristics and their role in human behavior and activity.

FPI multivariate personality questionnaire

(modified form B)

Instructions to the test subject... On the following pages there are a number of statements, each of which implies a question relating to you about whether this statement corresponds or does not correspond to some peculiarities of your behavior, individual actions, attitudes towards people, outlook on life, etc. If you think that such a correspondence takes place, then answer “Yes”, otherwise - answer “No”. Record your answer in the answer sheet you have by putting a cross in the box corresponding to the number of the statement in the questionnaire and the type of your answer. All questions must be answered.

The success of the study largely depends on how carefully the task is performed. In no case should you strive to make a better impression on someone with your answers, since no answer is judged as good or bad. You do not have to ponder each question for a long time, but try to decide as soon as possible which of the two answers, albeit very relative, but still seems closer to the truth to you. You should not be embarrassed if some of the questions seem too personal, since the study does not provide for the analysis of each question and answer, but relies only on the number of answers of one type and the other. In addition, you should be aware that the results of individual psychological research, like medical research, are not subject to broad discussion.
