Abstract

Recently, Eber (1991) reported on several large-scale studies of law enforcement candidates. The main measures were the two parts of the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (Krug, Cattell, & IPAT, 1980). Part I consists of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire Scales, while Part II is devoted to 12 measures of psychopathology. The most striking finding was a clear personality profile characterized by a strong pattern of self-discipline or Control, Tough Poise, and low Anxiety. Our study hypothesis was that several police personality profiles would be found. This conjecture was tested on the 16PF scores of two samples of 275 police candidates by means of the Ward (1963) hierarchical clustering procedure and the Milligan/Sokal (1980) nonhierarchical K-means cluster procedures. Three distinct score profiles were isolated in both samples.

摘要

最近，埃伯（1991年）报告了几项针对执法候选人的大规模研究。主要测量工具是《临床分析问卷》（克鲁格、卡特尔和人格及能力测试研究所，1980年）的两个部分。第一部分由16种人格因素问卷量表组成，而第二部分则专门用于12种精神病理学测量。最显著的发现是一种清晰的人格特征，其特点是具有强烈的自律或自控、坚韧沉着和低焦虑模式。我们的研究假设是会发现几种警察人格特征。通过沃德（1963年）分层聚类程序和米利根/索卡尔（1980年）非分层K均值聚类程序，对275名警察候选人的两个样本的16PF分数进行了检验，以验证这一推测。在两个样本中都分离出了三种不同的分数特征。
