16PF® Tests- 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire
Learn More About You
The 16PF is based on an entirely different personality theory than the Myers-Briggs®. The 16PF was developed from the work of Dr. Raymond Cattell and his factor analysis over 45 years ago. Instead of four, there are 16 different scales that measure things like anxiety, liveliness, dominance, sensitivity, perfectionism, openness to change, group-orientation, and more. The factors are further grouped together into global factors: self-control, anxiety, extraversion, independence, and tough-mindedness. There are two versions of the 16PF here: the Interpretive report and the Personal Career Development Plus report. You can see sample reports below. The 16PF is often used for personnel selection and development, career planning, and more. If you have questions, call (858) 571-3931 or write

Two different 16PF Reports: Career & Interpretive
Is finding or changing your career your main focus now? Learn about how you can cope with stressful conditions, your interpersonal interaction style, your preferred organizational and leadership roles and work settings, as well as your career fields and occupational interests. All this and more can be found in the Personal Career Development Plus report.
The Interpretive report shows your scores on the 16 personality scales as well as the five global factors of Independence, Anxiety, Self-Control, Extraversion, and Tough-Mindedness. The report contains further information on self-esteem and adjustment, social skills, creativity, and leadership. Finally, this report has a list of occupational interests and Holland theme scores, similar to those on the Strong®.
How independent are you? Find out!
We all need a certain level of independence, and we all have different amounts. The 16PF report will help you understand how you current behavior affects your interpersonal and work relationships. Or perhaps you are more of an accommodating person. How does that affect your life? The Interpretive report can help answer that question as well.
Are your social skills developed?
The 16PF Interpretive report provides insight into how well your communication style works. Both non-verbal and verbal communication is reported on the report. See the sample report below.
