Abstract
Chinese Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI) was developed and collaborated by the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Department of Psychology of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which was strictly studied using the method of constructing personality scale. The development of the CPAI included the following four steps: a) establishment of the constructs to be measured by personality and clinical scales; b) generation of scale items; c) construction of the CPAI; d) standardization of the CPAI. The final inventory consisted of 22 personality scales, 12 clinical scales and an infrequency scale (35 scales and 510 items in total). Through practical examination and statistical analysis, it was shown that CPAI had high reliability and validity and could be used in many fields in China
