Abstract

Both the California Test of Personality (CTP) and the Mooney Problem Check List (MPCL) were administered to 301 undergraduate university students. The 360 correlations obtained between the various scores of the two tests produced 288 which were significant at the .01 level of confidence and 25 which were significant at the .05 level. The relationships were primarily negative, i.e., those who demonstrated a high degree of adjustment (high score on the CTP) checked fewer problems on the MPCL than those who demonstrated poor adjustment (low score on the CTP). On the basis of this study which is in agreement with similar work by an earlier researcher, the present writer asserts that the MPCL may permit an assessment of the person's adjustment status.
