Abstract
Content analyzed four commonly used personality inventories (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire [EPQ], Minnesota Multiphasic Personality [MMPI], California Personality Inventory [CPI], and the Edwards Personality Preference Schedule [EPPS]) in order to determine the type of item contained in each. Raters (N = 3) noted whether each item in the four inventories contained situational, temporal, or comparative information and what type of information was sought about the respondent. Wide differences appeared between the content of the items for the different questionnaires. Results are discussed in terms of the person-situation debate and the development of improved self-report measures of personality.
