Which aspect of personality does the California Psychological Inventory aim to measure?

Cognitive skills
Emotional stability
Social behavior
Overall personality traits

The correct answer is: Overall personality traits

The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) is designed to measure overall personality traits, focusing particularly on the interpersonal behavior and social functioning of individuals. The CPI is commonly used in various settings, including personal development, coaching, and certain therapeutic contexts, as it provides insights into an individual's social behavior and how they relate to others. The assessment evaluates dimensions such as dominance, sociability, and self-control, which contribute to a comprehensive understanding of one’s personality. This holistic approach allows practitioners to assess how different traits interact and manifest in everyday situations, making it a valuable tool for understanding overall personality rather than isolating specific factors like cognitive skills, emotional stability, or just social behavior.
