Abstract
Recently, the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing has released a new set of equations for calculating 16PF second-order factors. These revised equations were compared with the earlier ones provided in the 16PF Handbook, as well as with those used in the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAQ) for computing the second-order dimensions. Results indicated that the earlier 16PF Handbook equation for calculating QIII (Tough Poise) was inaccurate. It is recommended that only the new equations be employed in future work with the 16PF. Moreover, this finding has significant implication for many published studies involving second-order 16PF factors over the past couple of decades. A re-examination of many of these studies in the light of the new second-order equations would seem warranted, as conclusions drawn may alter considerably with the correct computations of QIII (at least for males).
