The Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) is a widely used personality assessment instrument informing lower- and higher-order personality dimensions. Despite recent developments of brief (MPQ-BF) and simplified wording (MPQ-SF) forms, there is relatively little work on the utility and validity of the MPQ in younger samples with lower reading levels. This study is the first to assess the reliability, factor structure, and criterion validity of the MPQ-SF in a sample of treatment-referred mid-adolescents (N = 105; 12-17 years). Results suggest adequate reliabilities for most of the lower-order primary scales and support a three-factor structure of the MPQ-SF, consistent with previous research with adult and college-aged samples. However, there were also notable cross-loadings for particular scales, which we discuss in relation to the four-factor MPQ model and the Five Factor Model of Personality. Relationships between MPQ personality dimensions and psychopathology using youth, parent, and clinician-rated psychopathology indices supported criterion-related validity. Together, these results confirm the utility of the MPQ in youth with treatment histories.
多维人格问卷（MPQ）是一种广泛使用的人格评估工具，用于揭示低阶和高阶人格维度。尽管最近出现了简短形式（MPQ-BF）和简化措辞形式（MPQ-SF），但针对阅读水平较低的年轻样本中MPQ的效用和效度的研究相对较少。本研究首次在接受治疗的青少年中期样本（N = 105；12 - 17岁）中评估MPQ-SF的信度、因子结构和效标效度。结果表明，大多数低阶主要量表具有足够的信度，并支持MPQ-SF的三因素结构，这与之前针对成人和大学生样本的研究一致。然而，特定量表也存在显著的交叉载荷，我们将结合四因素MPQ模型和人格五因素模型进行讨论。使用青少年、父母和临床医生评定的精神病理学指标来考察MPQ人格维度与精神病理学之间的关系，支持了效标关联效度。总之，这些结果证实了MPQ在有治疗史的青少年中的效用。
