Investigated the meaning of Black-White differences typically discovered on personality instruments by administering a pool of items derived from both the MMPI and California Psychological Inventory, as well as a group form of the Embedded Figures Test, to a sample of 226 black and white junior college students. A cluster analysis of the unexpectedly large number of inventory items significantly differentiating the two races produced reliable and meaningful configurations. Interpretations of race differences on these clusters and the EFT provide a new perspective on the meaning of Black-White personality differences.
通过对226名黑人和白人专科大学生样本进行施测，这些测验项目来自明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）和加利福尼亚心理调查表，以及团体形式的镶嵌图形测验，研究了人格量表上典型发现的黑白差异的意义。对大量意外地能显著区分两个种族的量表项目进行聚类分析，得出了可靠且有意义的结构。对这些聚类以及镶嵌图形测验上的种族差异的解释，为黑白人格差异的意义提供了新视角。
