Abstract

An R-type factor analysis of Hall and Lindzey's ratings of seventeen personality theories on eighteen variables was conducted. Both oblique and orthogonal rotation yielded similar structures. Five factors emerged, and they seemed potentially meaningful as a way to order and understand contemporary personality theories. A detailed comparison was made with a study by Taft which employed a Q-type cluster analysis. The principal difference between the two analyses was the emergence of a factor in this study which signifies the relative emphasis on learning in various theories of personality.
