This study examined sex differences in domain and facet scores from six personality tests in various large adult samples. The aim was to document differences in large adult groups which might contribute new data to this highly contentious area. We reported on sex differences on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); the Five Factor NEO-PI-R; the Hogan Personality Indicator (HPI); the Motives and Values Preferences Indicator (MVPI); the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) and the High Potential Trait Indicator (HPTI). Using multivariate ANOVAs we found that whilst there were many significant differences on these scores, which replicated other studies, the Cohen’s d statistic showed very few (3 out of 130) differences >.50. Results from each test were compared and contrasted, particularly where they are measuring the same trait construct. Implications and limitations for researchers interested in assessment and selection are discussed.

这项研究检查了领域和在各种大型成人样本中进行的六个性格测试得出的方面得分。目的是记录大型成年人群体中的差异，这可能会为这一高度争议的领域提供新的数据。我们在Myers-Briggs类型指标（MBTI）上报告了性别差异；五因素NEO-PI-R；霍根个性指标（HPI）；动机和价值观偏好指标（MVPI）；霍根发展调查（HDS）和高潜质指标（HPTI）。使用多元方差分析，我们发现尽管这些得分有很多显着差异，这些结果与其他研究重复，但科恩的d统计数据显示极少（130个中的3个）差异大于.50。比较和对比每个测试的结果，特别是在测量相同性状构建体的情况下。
