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
Murrays 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.
