The Personality Research Form (PRF) is an extensively researched and validated measure of normal personality. The PRF is designed to yield scores for personality traits relevant to the functioning of individuals in a wide variety of situations. Based to a large extent upon Murray’s framework for the description of personality, the PRF focuses on areas of normal functioning rather than psychopathology. The PRF is comprised of 352 true-false items and requires about 45 minutes to complete. French and Spanish versions are also available.

The PRF is well suited for personnel selection in industrial and business settings as well as to supplement other sources of information about clients in clinics and guidance centers.
