I am Eure you will correctly anticipate that the purpc^^^rftl^^let-

ter is to request formally that my relationship with the

be continued for another year, as an extension of the arrangement

currently in existence. While we have had occasion, alone or with others,

This is not tEe”fxT&ce for a detailed progress report. Briefly, I can

characterize the past year as one of consolidation find preparation con-

solidation of the factor analysis projects initiated earlier, and prepara-

tion for future projects along other promising lines. The most tangible

outcome of the! recent effort is a group of ten computer programs for vari-

ous phases of psychological (end other) data processing. A few technical

papers have appeared or been newly written, and copies of these are here.

It is my plan .to wrap up early in the coming year all of the factorial

evidence relating to the Vechsler, including suggestions as to hov this

battery may be amplified, administered and scored to yield a maximum of

reliable information. I also propose a high priority for the obtaining of

useful cross-cultural data, such as the material from a Japanese standard-

ization of the WAIS, end to investigation of methods for insuring accurate

cross-cultural norming. Thirdly, I mat to develop further the machineprocedures for

11syndrome analysis," which will make use of the Wechsler

versus Kyers -Briggs data now accumulated. On a lover priority basis than

the above, I would continue to try to involve other researchers in the in-

teresting problems existing in this whole area of work.

I have agreed to furnish a specific summary accounting of this year's

expenses by the end of January . -

full time on the development of indirect assessment techniques. Spe

cifically, during the next year he will further develop the following:

a. Continue to work on publishable reports of the various

factor analyses that have been done or are in process,

which serve to establish 17 to 20 factors operating

within the VAIS and to shed light on their meanings

and ways they might be measured - either through per-

b. Try to establish the nature of the internal dependencies

in Wechsler profiles across the factors, vhich dependencies

must exist if it has been possible to utilize profiles ,

as of October 1959*

This study began with the idea that the concept of Sensation vs

«

Intuition as described by Jung and measured by the Myers-Briggs Type In-

dicator was essentially equivalent to the concept of Extermination vs.

Internalization as described by and measured by the Digit Span

subtest of the Weehsler intelligence tests. Some very limitedevidence

consistent with this hypothesis was included in the original research

proposal, and some other parallel hypotheses were also putforward at .

that time

.

The first year of work under our grant from the Society wasspent

doing a number of things, such as collecting data and examining itin

relation to the original hypotheses. It turned out that the hypotheses

could be supported if, but only if, one were careful to choose the

right kinds of subjects; there were other very important aspects to the

relations between Weehsler scores and Myers-Brlggs scores. Thus, given

two subjects with parallel Weehsler profiles, one could state withsome

confidence that they would have similar Myers-Briggs profiles. Hovevei

,

changing almost any of the Weehsler scores in relation to the profilewould

almost surely result in some change in the Myers-Briggs "type.' It turned

out, therefore, that the most important act first yearwas that

spent becoming more thoroughly familiar vitnMHHBHp theory of per- /\

sonality and his use of the Weehsler to assess"personality operattonally

.

The major result emanating from this phase of activity i^jjj?esearch ^

Memorandum "An outline personality theory as applied

to the Weehsler: I." A

One clear understanding provided by thiswrit, was that the Wecholer.

is not an ideal measuring instrument HMHp* theory because it doesnot contain enough different subtests.

T^ofile of eubtest scores

t'hat has been used is merely a ten-dimensionalshadow cast by an appreciably

more complex pattern of personalityorganisation within any given individual,

It may be possible to use thisshadow tb make deductions about the person

who cast ..it primarily because ofcertain dynamic mechanisms that inter—

relate the known and the unknown aspects.However likely such deductions

are to be properly made by good clinicalpsychologists, they are certainly

beyond the ken of conventional statisticalapproaches.

A major goal for the second year of ourwork has been to understand

as fully and empirically as possiblewhat is measured by the Wechater^nd

to try to pinpoint its shortcomings inrelation to coverage of

/

theory. Factor analysis has providedan approach to this problem, and

nine different factor analyses relatingto some form of the Wechsler have

been carried to virtual completion atthe present time. One of these has

led to a published report, a secondhas been ..accepted. for publication, and

reports dealing with the remainder areexpected to reach at least the

stage of complete first draft by January19^0.

factors were clearly those anticipated byRapaport's classic discussion

of WB-I as a clinical instrument. While there have been severalitem analy-

ses of items in the various forms of the Wechsler^ and the resultshave

contained evidence that should probably have been interpreted as implying

multidimensionality even for individual subtests, no one has previously

reported factor analyses of items in any of the scales. Vo have completed

and are ready to write u-p two further such analyses. Six factors have been

found in an analysis of Information and Arithmetic items, and sevenfactors

have been found in an analysis of Similarities and Comprehensionitems.

However, the sixteen factors found by factor analyzing items are not all

different, there being abundant evidence that some of the factorsappear

in more than one subtest.

"The major conclusions of this report ire that Alpha"frl

^quency 'in' the^EG probably corresponds to Digit Span in the Wechsler, and.

that Alpha Index probably corresponds to Picture Completion. Using data

collected subsequent to our re-analysis of Mundy-Castle we have been able /#

to cross-validate the first of these conclusions, and to obtainevidence

;

suggesting that the relationship is an even more general one between Digit

• Span .and the dominant EEG frequency even when this frequency is well outside

the limits normally used to define "alpha" frequency. (Because the 'sample

used for cross-validation came from a mental hospital, these furtherresults

cannot be adequately reported without a prior or concurrent discussion of

the effects of brain damage.)

The implications of a chain of relationships bringing together a

neurophysiological measure such as Alpha Frequency in the EEG, a performance

test measure such as Digit Span in the Wechsler, and a self-report inventory

measure such as the Myers-Briggs,. are substantial, and we hope .to spend

some of our effort in the coining year working them out ana reporting them

specifically. The "meaning" of the alpha rhythm has been well worked out,

by others, in terms of a sub- cortical ly controlled master "excitability

- k -

cycle,1

' which fits nicely with s ^

Jung's "Sensation-Intuition," andReymans and Viersma ' s " Pri mary-Secondary

.

"

This dimension, by whatever name, is emergingas perhaps the most in^ortairt

dimension in the whole theory of personality,in the sense that all other

relationships may he subject to its influence.It is my hunch that its

manifestations can he traced hack even to;the biochemical level of observa-

tion, and that at that level it willhe tied in with the characteristic

response of the adrenal gland to chronicenvironmental stress. Such a

^

conception seems to he consistent with afair body of hitherto unrelated

literature, and with some very limiteddirect observation.

In any consideration of this area thequestion of anxiety and its

measurement is hound to come up. Within theWechsler, a relative deficit

in Object Assembly-performance isregarded as. betraying a degree of anxiety.

(Digit Span is also sometimes said to; measureanxiety, but we would prefer,

in keeping with the above, to put it thatDigit 'Span says something very

fundamental about how anxiety may be expressed.)Since our first factor

study of the WAIS yielded evidence forthe unique contribution of every

subtest to the battery except Object Assembly,and since we did not want

to throw OA out on these grounds withoutgiving it a second chance, we

developed and experimented with a new subtestcalled Sentence Arrangement.

This new test was designed to measurethe unique-contribution of- OA, but

to. correlate differently than OA with.the., remaining subtests -I^idence ^

indicating the success of this venture isnow written up ixjg^esearch

Memorandwfijttlfeven before this was completed,however, one of the

'

three faetSsin^cture Completion had confirmedthe reality of this

dimension , which we like to referto as the "effect of uncertainty

.

"

In view of the sense of reward achievedinstrumental^ through the

re -analysis of Mundy-Castle1 s data, we have been encouraged to pick

up

other data from the literature that seem tohave been incompletely or

improperly analyzed. Reports on four suchstudies now await write-up,

using data originally gathered by Reitan,Davis, Witkin, and Birren. It

is our plan to report the Reitan dataseparately, since it was not extensive

- 5 -

enough to yield more than seven factors in either a normal or a brain-

damaged sample, but does afford an opportunity to discuss the

brain damage- on..both the Vechsler, and Halstead batteries. Dr

id: a former -Colleague of

a^eed^to'collaborate in interpreting and reporting these results.

The remaining three factor analyses each bring the Vechsler battery

together with an interesting and diverse array of other measures, and yield

11-12 factors. From the present perspective I donot see that any of these i

can be reported first without extensive anticipation of the results of the

others, and I therefore envisage a single report covering all three. While

the report is not yet even drafted, it seems fair to expect that it will be

possible to develop a framework of about l4 or 1$ factors that can account

for all of our results to date, and that may be regarded as the "real"

structure whose11 shadow" is presently obtained from the Vechsler. Further-

more, it seems likely that these factors can be conceptually organized in

a manner that results essentially in both simplification and over-determina-

tion of theory . Accomplishment, of these purpose s would complete

a major phase of research.

Assuming all this works out in the manner just indicated, our study

will have reached an important crossroads, from which there is more than

one way to continue. One major alternative is to get started on the build-

ing of a test battery designed for the most efficient and reliable measure-

ment of all tliese factors, and at tlresame time making as much use of group

testing as validity will permit. s well equipped to follow this line,

and I believe enough effort should be put into it to try to insure the

completion of material for an experimental battery by the end of i960.

This would look towards experimental administration of the material inthe

spring of 1961, completion of the battery, by . tbe_ end .of 196l> and final

standardization in 1962.

The second major alternative is to continue the exploration of im-

plications, which by now are appearing at various levels of measurement

- 6 -

ranging from 'biochemical through self-report. In additionto reporting on

the vicissitudes of the one variable so far studiedacross levels, ve should

be considering its further vicissitudes in the realm ofobserver-ratings,

for example, and should be beginning to trace themanifestations and inter-

actions of some of the others of the 14-15- dimensions nowisolated. All this

is the stuff of which future application^''are: likelyto be made, and I

would be dismayed to see any substantial cuttingback of activity in this

area simply to facilitate current test-construction activity.

;

however, in view

this whole study, i

fillingress to contribute some funds to

willing to continue its support at the

same annual rate as YoFW^af^wo years this should result in substantial

further progress along both lines of investigation bythe end of i960.

A Research Proposal

examination, to contain important regions of mathematical isomorphism. In

other words, it seems likely that certain of the basic concepts and relation-

ships employed in these theories can be put into a one-to-one correspondence.

At the same time, each theory contains many further elements that seem likelyto correspond only to concepts or relationships that have not yet been formu-

lated in the language of the other theory. The purpose of this proposal is to

suggest the importance of exploring empirically the contact between these and

possibly other personality theories, with the objectives of unifying them into a

larger coherent picture and of filling in a relatively greater proportion of the

details of this picture from the combined resources of the present theories.

CIs

persona

re two authors of more or less comprehensivepear, upon rather close but as yet unscientific

Among, the host of possible definitions of "personality" there are manywhich stress the idea that it is only through an understanding of personality that

one rnay expect to predict individual behavior, including behavior "intended" to

be adaptive to the physical environment or to other people. Thus, any researchthat is able to shed light on the organization of human personality, or to providemeasuring instruments of basic parameters of human personality, is seen aslikely to contribute to the advancement of human ecology. The following para-graphs* show one way in which this possibility"may" be” approached, and includepreliminary evidence that suggests that this approach may be a fruitful one.

theory is one that is grounded in extensive erhpirical observa-tion Imd has" always had objective, "operational" definitions for its concepts. Forthe most part, these have been provided by the various sub-tests of the Wechsler~Bellevue Intelligence Stale, although the constructs and relationships that havebeen generalized out. of careful observation of the. performance of subjects onthese sub-tests are regarded as having potentially even broader theoretical utility.For example, efforts to fit the Thurstone Temperament Scales into this structurehave been undertaken but have not yet been fully worked out.

Jfhcory, on the other hand, is one that was first devised as aserieS"*6f fib'sl*a c tion s , and which has since been "justified" through thedevelopment of at least one kind of objectively scorabL&naaaterial that appearsto behave consistently with the abstract principles^HBBHBias freely employedJungian concepts in developing her theory, but has afsoraa to modify and extendteem somewhat in order to "fit the facts" that are yielded,by her instrument,known as the Myers -Briggs Type Indicator.

- 2 -

In terms of the writer's present understanding of these two theories,each makes use of three basic bits of information, along with further bits o£information, in order to classify an individual personality. The question ofwhether any of these are in fact the same basic bits of information is the firstone that should be investigated.

For example.^HHBH^Hgives first importance to a distinction betweenpersons that he calre^^^^^W^ers " and "Externalizers". Operationally, aninternalizer is an individual who is able to perform well on the digit span subtest of the Wechsler in comparison with his general level of ability; an external

-

izer is.able to performonlv relatively poorly, atleast when he takes the Wechslerfor the first time.flR9H5K following Jung, draws a basic distinction between in-dividuals who arcTuppo'scd to prefer "Intuition" and other individuals who aresupposed to prefer "Sensation" as a mode of perception; a given individual maybe measured in this respect by the answers he gives to certain questions abouthimself. The writer has begun to administer both the Wechsler and the Myers

-

Briggs to a series of subjects, and currently has 20 casesJyal^Kkj^y“yenteenof these cases are usable to compute a correlation betwee*I^^M^^^MfMlefimtionof an internalir.er and Myers' definition of an intuitive; the is plus. 7t» (Kendall tail coefficient). Since any correlation that may exist between thesedefinitions must be attenuated by the unreliability of measurement inherent inh

AIt does not appear thaflg9Rii*d basic bit of information,

which

distinguishes between individSiMiliil^play"Acceptably • and those who do

so "Unacceptably" on the basis of relativeperformance on the picture

ment sub-test of the Wechsler, can be relateddirectly to any of Myers basic

type distinctions. Jung's concept of"persona, " which seems likely to be in-

volved here, is one that Myers has not yetinvestigated.

On the other hand, it does appeal-likely that Myers'third basic bit of

action between internalizer-^MfflilwPJndits degree o compensa 1 n ,

.

Thus, if a relatively high performance in thearithmetic sub-test of he Wechsle

is taken as an indication of "compensation," extraverts may be hypothesized to

comprise persons who are simultaneously high, orlow on both digit span an

arithmetic, while introverts comprise persons Who

two sub-tests. While the data for our ZOcases can be plotted so as to be consistent

with this hypothesis, the interpretationis utterly dependent on the

appropriate cutting scores for both digit spanand arithmetic, and this should

not he regarded as even tentative evidence.

The discussion that has just been given servesboth to spell out afew

examples of rel ationship that ishypothesized to exist between the

^ of Myers, and to illustrate some of the difficultiesinHP* investigation of such hypotheses. The r...«ch that

is here proposed would take off from this point,and would initially explore a

variety of hypotheses of this general kind.Obviously, longer series of cases

need to be examined before even the specifichypotheses raised in hts discussion

may be accepted as a basis for guiding the formulationof additional hypotheses

Unking other aspects of these or other theoriesof personality. Some encourage-

ment may be drawn from the tentative evidence providedby the 20 cases; additional

encouragement may be drawn as rapidly as an interlockingnetwork of consistent

hypotheses can be formulated and empiricallyvalidated. Exactly where these

will lead the investigation is impossible toforesee.

Assuming, however, that substantial areas ofisomorphism can be

elucidated in the course of this research, it shouldthen be possible to combine

the advantage of the two sets of operationaldefinitions for the constructs.

Myers -Briggs has the advantages of easy administrabilityto groups of persons,

high reliability (in the sense of internalconsistency of measurement) for a

limited number of scores, and a generallynon-threatening appearance. e

Wechsler -Bellevue provides a larger number of scoresat a more moderate

_ l eVel of reliability, and has the marked advantageof expecting the subject to

do his "best"— capitalizing on a form of motivationthat may eiten invalidate

the paper-pencil questionnaire approach whenit is applied to an mdividua .

By using the Myers-Briggs as a screen for theselection of experimen a popu-

lations and as an intermediate criterion for thepreliminary validation of new

"objective" personality tests, it may prove possible to develop materialsthat (a) are equivalent to those now in the Wechsler, (b) possess higher reli-

ability and validity, and (c) include ways of measuring facets of personality

that are not now being tapped. By using both instruments together, it mayprove possible to develop a Scheme for systematically recording observations

of behavior so that they may be readily translated into the unified theoretical

framework. By using either instrument, according to the requirements of a

feasible experimental design, it may prove possible to map the relationships

of a wide variety of additional varfable.sJ&nJfts_«ffiitted.framework; the effects

of "educational" experience, including various forms of psychotherapy, the

effects of physiological "condition" including the influences of heredity and of

sundry chemical and electrical stimuli, and the manifestations of personality

in a variety of "other tests" are all areas of potential interest. Again, which

of these will seem to be the best bet as this research develops is an open

question.

Implementation Br

ferest and thaScB^^HHHpvill see fit

to provide financial support so that research developir^^^J^^^^^Wines outlined

above may be undertaken. Such research is not now being supported by any

other foundation, nor has it been.

In view of the relatively high degree of uncertainty that is necessarily

associated with plans for the kind of basic research that is outlined above,

ttMft proposes that the budget be established initially in terms of a rate of

oxnenditure of effort, rather than interms of specific goals and the costs o

achieving them. On this basis, it seemsreasonable to request a grant of
