16 Personality Factors

The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire is a self-report personality test that has been developed over decades of scientific studies. The 16PF provides information about an individual’s capacity for insight, self-esteem, openness to change, empathy, level of interpersonal trust, quality of attachments, interpersonal needs, attitude toward authority, reaction to power dynamics, emotion regulation, and coping style, which is useful in the clinical and counselling process. The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), based on Cattell’s personality factors, is widely used in education today for career counselling.
