Abstract
EPQ-R Short Scale was first imported and revised in China in this research. 8,637 participants (including 7,725 participants of the Han Ethnicity) from 56 regions of 30 provinces in the mainland filled in EPQ-RSC (Sampling Version). Based on the data of the large sample, EPQ-RSC was revised, which contained 4 scales and each included 12 items which keeps the identical format with the EPQ-R Short Scale. Statistical results showed that EPQ-RSC had satisfactory reliability and validity of Scale E, N and L, and relatively lower reliability and validity of Scale P which can still meet the accepted criteria. The excellent psychometrical property of EPQ-RSC renders the EPQ-RSC as a comparable reliable personality test to EPQ-R Short Scale and dependable to be applied to test the personality dimensions of Chinese. Finally the author discussed some issues including reasons about the accepted reliability of Scale P and implications of the norm of Chinese population with age group distributions identical to national population.
