content: By 1930, psychologists not only designed paper and pencil tests to measure intelligence and occupational aptitude, but to test personality. This is such a test, designed by the British psychologist Phillip E. Vernon (1905-1897) and Harvard faculty member Gordon W. Allport (1897-1967). The test sought to classify people according to whether they most valued theoretical, economic, aesthetic, social, political, or religious considerations. Revised versions of the examination were prepared at least as late as 2003.
