2. Checking the test results for sincerity. Processing of test results begins with checking the test subject's answers for sincerity (according to the MD indicator). If the MD value is > 9, it is considered that the subject answered the questions insincerely, or did not want to cooperate with the experimenter and gave answers at random, without thinking about them. In this case, the test results are considered unreliable and no further processing or interpretation is performed.
If the MD value is 5 – 8, the reliability of the test result is questioned. The experimenter decides on the possibility of further processing of research data, based on the goals and objectives of the psychodiagnostic examination (research).
The value of the MD indicator 1 – 4 points characterizes the truthfulness of the subject. The following stages of the test methodology are carried out: translation into walls (conditional points on a 10-point scale), construction of the subject’s personal profile, analysis and interpretation of data from a psychodiagnostic examination (research).

DATA PROCESSING:
The received data is processed using a “key”. The coincidence of the subject’s answers with the “key” is assessed as two points for answers “a” and “c”, the coincidence of the answer “c” is scored as one point. The sum of points for each selected group of questions results in the value of the factor. The exception is factor “B” - here any match of the answer with the “key” gives 1 point.
The resulting value of each factor is converted into walls using the tables provided.
The walls are distributed on a bipolar scale with extreme values of 1 and 10 points. Accordingly, the first half of the scale (from 1 to 5.5) is assigned the “-” sign, and the second half (from 5.5 to 10) the “+” sign. From the available indicators for all 16 factors, the so-called “personality profile” is built. When interpreting, attention is paid, first of all, to the “peaks” of the profile, that is, the lowest and highest values of factors in the profile, especially those indicators that in the “negative” pole are within the boundaries of 1 to 3 walls, and in the “positive” pole » - from 8 to 10 walls.
An example of constructing a “PERSONALITY PROFILE”
The set of factors in their relationships is also analyzed in the following blocks, for example:
Intellectual characteristics: factors B, M, Q 1;
Emotional-volitional characteristics: factors C, G, I, O, Q 3, Q 4;
Communicative properties and features of interpersonal interaction: factors A, H, F, E, Q 2, N, L.
In addition to the original 16 factors, we can distinguish “ts-gyre factors of the second order.
Formulas for calculating four secondary factors:
1. Anxiety. (F 1).
F 1 =[(38 + 2"L" + 30 + 4"Q 4") - 2("C" + "H" + "Q 3")]: 10
2. Introversion - extraversion. (F 2).
F 2 = [ (2 "A" + 3 "E" + 4 "F" + 5 "H" - (2 "Q 2 " + 11)] : 10
3. Sensitivity. (F 3).
F 3 = [(77 + 2 “C” + 2 “E” + 2 “F” + 2 “N”) - (4 “A” + 6 “I” + 2 “M”)]: 10
4. Conformity. (F 4).
F 4 =[(4"E" + 3"M" + 4"Q 1"+ 4"Q 2") - (3"A" + 2"C")]: 10

The test was first published in 1949 by the Institute for Personality Aptitude Testing (JPAT). In 1956-1957 The second edition was published, supplemented by new developments. In 1961-62 - the third, which could be used as an independent guide to the test. By 1970, the test had six parallel forms. Each of the basic forms defines the same sixteen personality characteristics. As Cattell writes, for the researcher, for more precise individual work, forms A and B are proposed; Forms C and D are used more often in cases where testing time is limited and there is a need to work with a group.
Form C of the Cattell Questionnaire consists of 105 questions. As a result of processing the received responses, assessments of 17 polar personality factors are extracted, including the self-esteem factor, which provides information about its adequacy. The Russian adaptation of the form was carried out in 1972 in the research group of E.S. Chugunova at the Department of Social Psychology of Leningrad State University under the leadership of I.M. Paley by the staff of A.N. Kapustina, L.V. Murgulets and N.G. Chumakova.
This technique can be applied to subjects from 16 years of age to old age. Form C can be used when interviewing people with secondary and higher education. This form does not require conversion of raw scores into walls.
About the Cattell Test script
This online Cattell test is based on the book publication “,” by A. N. Kapustina, St. Petersburg: Rech, 2004 - 104 p., and was created to facilitate and automate the research work of a psychologist. The script automatically calculates the results, displays them and saves them as a “permanent link to the result”.
The interpretation is formed on the basis of “raw” points (since Form C does not require the conversion of raw scores into walls), but at the same time, a table for converting “raw” points into walls is additionally displayed.
[Attention!] If you find errors while working with the script, please let us know, the errors will be corrected.
