The author presents four essential Meehl lessons for personality assessment. First, Meehl's particular form of the integration of science and practice is described. Second, by outlining Meehl's Hedonic Capacity conjecture, Meehl's contribution to the inclusion of personality individual differences in generating the full clinical picture and in planning treatment is recognized. The third Meehl lesson is on the nature and importance of theory in test development and application programs. The fourth Meehl lesson is a more general epistemological lesson for psychology. Meehl's role in destroying the fantasy of an easy methodological formula for a scientific psychology is described. His program of taxometric research is shown to be an example of demanding greater material implications from theory. Meehl's corroboration index is described and contrasted with the p value of statistical significance testing.
作者提出了关于人格评估的四条重要的米希尔观点。首先，描述了米希尔将科学与实践相结合的独特形式。其次，通过概述米希尔的享乐能力猜想，认识到米希尔在将人格个体差异纳入生成完整临床图景和规划治疗方面所做的贡献。米希尔的第三条观点涉及理论在测试开发和应用程序中的性质和重要性。米希尔的第四条观点是对心理学更具普遍性的认识论观点。描述了米希尔在打破科学心理学存在简单方法论公式这一幻想方面所起的作用。他的分类学研究计划被视为一个要求理论具有更大实质性意义的例子。描述了米希尔的确证指数，并将其与统计显著性检验的p值进行了对比。
