Data on the 16 PF obtained from 130 male and female college students were cluster analyzed to produce an empirical personality typology. Two different clustering algorithms were compared. Seven personality types emerged: 1) Well-Adjusted Conservative, 2) Ego-Involved Neurotic, 3) Norm Independent, 4) Socially-Detached Neurotic, 5) Superego Controlled, 6) Self-Assured Experimenter, and 7) Tough-Minded Controlled. Not only did the types differ significantly in personality, but they also were found to be significantly different on nine different measures of interpersonal orientation. Since the types did give intuitive insight into the nature of personality as particular combinations of personality traits and also were different on variables other than those used for the classification, the scientific utility of the typological approach received support.
从130名男女大学生那里获得的16种人格因素的数据进行了聚类分析，以产生一种实证性的人格类型学。对两种不同的聚类算法进行了比较。出现了七种人格类型：1）适应良好的保守型，2）自我卷入的神经质型，3）规范独立型，4）社交疏离的神经质型，5）超我控制型，6）自信的实验型，7）意志坚强的控制型。这些类型不仅在人格上有显著差异，而且还发现在九种不同的人际取向测量上也有显著差异。由于这些类型确实能让人直观地洞察到作为特定人格特质组合的人格本质，而且在用于分类之外的变量上也有所不同，因此类型学方法的科学效用得到了支持。
