Early 20th century personality tests

Personality questionnaires started about a century ago.

  • The questions during WWI were geared to study personality and mental health problems to weed out soldiers who weren't fit to fly military aircraft.
  • Academics created different personality scales on what personality is like. The problem with the majority of the assessments at the time was they were built on the creator's subjective feelings about personality.
