In personality inventories there is no right or wrong answers. Because the person
himself reports about his problems and based on what the individual provides as




information the responses are interpreted. These inventories are called self report
inventories as then person himself or herself responds to these questions. These are
constructed according to certain norms, scientific techniques and are put through
many steps of validation and standardisation. Hence, these tests are also called as
psychometric tests.Personality theorists and researchers seek to define and to understand the diversity
of human traits, the many ways people have of thinking and perceiving and learning
and emoting. Such nonmaterial human dimensions, types, and attributes are called
constructs from which inferences are drawn from observed behaviours.
