โœฆ Synopsis


Although the WAY Test may not reflect all the major characteristics of the hypothesized personality constellations set forth for the three groups, the information which the test reveals, especially in light of its brevity, is quite significant. Perhaps more information could be gained if more than three responses were required.

CONCLUSIONS The results substantiate the hypothesis that one can determine the major personality characteristics of three homogeneous, mutually exclusive samples through the responses on the WAY Test categories thereby lending validity to this measure. Further, the WAY Test does yield considerably more information in addition to quantitative data dealing with the self concept of the subject. Information reflecting motivation, reality testing, efficiency, flexibility, and other personality aspects are revealed. Finally, this study indicated the rater agreement and the inter-rater agreement of the WAY Test scoring method. However, it is felt that the scoring categories used could be further refined, especially the "Uniqueness" and the "Other." categories, and some categories ("Status" and "Group Membership, Geographic") could be eliminated.
