Probably the most popular method of measuring personality is that of the self-report inventory. This is typically a paper and pencil test which asks the subject questions about himself and his relations with other people. Usually there is no time limit specified but subjects are instructed to work briskly, not spending too much time thinking about any one item. Considerable self-knowledge is assumed, and the respondent is expected to answer questions which may be quite intimate in nature. The popularity of this approach may be attributed to the ease with which large numbers of subjects can be tested simultaneously, but its wide usage does not imply an absence of disadvantages
