dc.description.abstract |
The hypothesis that personality tests are better predictors of criminal deviancy than personality questionnaires was tested. Undergraduate volunteers used an IBM XT to report a history of their criminal deviancy on an anonymous basis. Subjects were administered personality questionnaires and personality tests to determine which type of measure had the stronger relationship to criminal deviancy. The hypothesis was partially supported and it was concluded that personality testing of criminal populations is feasible. |
