The Developmental Profile is an instrument for personality assessment. It covers both maladaptive and adaptive characteristics. The current study examined its internal consistency and construct validity in a Dutch sample of 763 participants from various clinical and nonclinical settings. The internal consistency reliability estimates were good for the clusters of levels (adaptive, neurotic, and primitive), although not for all separate levels. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an overall good fit, with the exception of the level of primary narcissism. Furthermore, empirical evidence was found for the interpretation of a patient's Developmental Profile according to increasing levels of aggregation, with as a highest level a single maladaptivity-adaptivity scale score. This scale significantly distinguished among different patient groups.
发展概况是一种人格评估工具。它涵盖了适应不良和适应良好的特征。本研究在来自不同临床和非临床环境的 763 名荷兰参与者样本中检验了其内部一致性和结构有效性。聚类水平（适应、神经质和原始）的内部一致性可靠性估计值良好，尽管并非所有单独的水平都如此。验证性因素分析显示，整体拟合度良好，除了原发性自恋水平。此外，根据聚合程度的增加来解释患者的发展概况，这一观点得到了实证证据的支持，最高水平是单一的适应不良-适应能力量表得分。该量表能显著区分不同的患者群体。
