Cattell and his associates developed three forms of the 16 PF which have been revised periodically (2, 3, 4). Cattell (2) appears to regard the editions as equivalent. This evaluation is attested by the repetition of the same means of various samples in the two handbooks cited above. Interest in the similarity of revisions grew out of an attempt to compare alcoholics who had been given the 1956 Form A and opiate addicts who had been tested with the 1950 Form A. Since the differences on several scales were larger than expected, an attempt was made to determine whether differences could be ascribed to the forms rather than the groups. To test for equivalence of the 1950 Form A and the 1956 Form A, the nvo forms were given in randomized order 1 wk. apart to 33 post-opiate addicts. Scores were converted to stens, using adult norms in the undated tabular supplements of the Handbook for the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. F ratios for the differences between means for repeated observations and cross-scale product-moment correlations for the 16 scales were determined. Significant differences (p .05) obtained on 11 scales. Mean sten scores on the 1950 Form A were significantly higher than those on the 1956 Form A on Scales C, E, and H and significantly lower on Scales I, L, M, N, 0, QI, Q3, and Q,. Cross-form reliability coefficients were not significant on Scales A, G, M, N, and QI. Only one reliability coefficient on Scale I was above .70. Other investigators using the 1950 (5) and 1956 (1 )
