content: William M. Lepley (1906-1977) and Clifford R. Adams (1902-1987), psychologists on the faculty of Pennsylvania State University, first published this examination of personal preferences with Science Research Associates in 1941. It sometimes was known as the Adams-Lepley Personal Audit. This edition (Form LL) appeared in 1945. The test was used at Penn State to assist in marriage counseling, and was tried in a variety of other situations before, during, and after World War II. Its nine parts test the characteristics of sociability, suggestibility, irritability, tendency to rationalization, anxiety, sexual emotional conflict, tolerance, flexibility, and worry over unsolved problems.
