Psychology Terms –Adjective Checklist
In psychometrics, a compilation of adjectives that can be designated as relevant or irrelevant to oneself, one's ideal self, another individual, or any other entity or concept. The phrase, when capitalized, explicitly refers to a measure of a selection of 300 adjectives, ranging from absent-minded to zany, curated by US psychologist Harrison G. Gough (1921–2014) and launched as a commercial test in 1952. The assessment produces 24 scores, encompassing metrics of personal adjustment, self-confidence, self-control, emotional lability, counseling readiness, several reaction styles, and 15 personality requirements, including achievement, dominance, and endurance. Gough examined its psychometric characteristics in a 1960 essay published in the journal Psychological Reports.
