Bernard Cattell is a British and American scientist in the field of psychology. He worked in London, Illinois, Hawaii and beyond. According to his theory, each person is endowed with a number of mental entities, or simply a system of traits. Based on this theory, tests were developed to determine individual character traits for adults, and later for adolescents and children, respectively. The adult survey includes 187 questions. Test for children - 12-factor (12PF); for adolescents - 14-factor (14PF), containing 142 questions and designed for respondents aged 12 to 18 years. On our website, you are invited to take the Cattell test for adolescents, which allows you to evaluate all aspects of a normally developed and psychologically stable person. Also, the test will help determine the personality problems of the test taker, and most importantly, it will answer the question of how to help him achieve harmony with himself. The algorithm for calculating the results for this test is given here.
