Abstract

This article examines the Sixteen Personality Factor Inventory (16PF; Cattell, Eber, & Tatsuoka, 1970) in terms of recent methodological and substantive developments: restricted (confirmatory) factor analysis and the five-factor model of personality as operationalized by the NEO-PI (NEO Personality Inventory). A multiple-indicator measurement model of the 16PF was constructed and analyzed with a restricted factor analysis and then cross-validated with a confirmatory analysis on a new sample. The relations of the a priori 16PF scales and the derived scales with the NEO-PI were investigated with comparative canonical correlation analyses. Both the a priori and derived 16PF scales demonstrated strong relationships to the NEO-PI scales, with the canonical correlations for the a priori scales slightly larger. These findings lead to the conclusion that the original 16PF remains robust in the context of these more recent developments.
