content: These are the manual of directions and key (not the test itself) for one version of the <I>California Test of Personality</I>. The California Test Bureau not only published tests of intelligence (mental maturity) and achievement, but also measures of personality adjustment and social effectiveness like the one relating to these documents. The tests came in several forms. The “Primary Series,” which is discussed in these materials, was for kindergarteners and children in grades one through three. The “Elementary Series” was for grades four through nine (see 1990.0034.124). The “Intermediate Series” was for grades seven through ten (see 1990.0034.125). The “Secondary Series” was for grades 9 to 14 [sic] (see 1990.0034.126). The Intermediate and Secondary series were published first, then the primary and an adult form.
