To assess personality the sixteen personality factor questionnaire was developed by :
Cattell
The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) was developed by Raymond B. Cattell, who used factor analysis to reduce a large list of trait words to 16 primary source traits such as warmth, emotional stability, dominance and self-reliance.
Eysenck developed the EPI/EPQ based on extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism; Sigmund Freud gave the psychoanalytic theory (id, ego, superego); and Carl Jung proposed introvert-extrovert types. None of them developed the 16PF.
Hence, the 16PF questionnaire was developed by Cattell.
