Mental Depression Scale by L N Dubey (English)

  The Clinical Analysis Questionnaire (CAO) was developed to meet the needs of clinical psychologists for objective measurement of primary behavioural dimensions. A special feature of the CAQ is that it measures 16 normal personality dimensions, represented by the 16 PF Test, as well as hypochondriacs, agitated depression, suicidal depression, anxious depression, guilt, energy level, boredom, and five other dimensions in the pathology domain. In addition to above 28 scales, one may also obtain 9 second-order scores on: Extroversion, Superego Strength, Neuroticism, Independence, Psychoticism, Tough-Poise, Depression, Anxiety and Socialization. The Manual contains profiles for a number of groups of interest, including alcoholics, narcotic addicts, various types of neurotic and psychotic disorders and criminals, etc. For administrative convenience, the test has been organized in two parts so that the entire test need not be given in a single sitting. It consists of 272 items and can be effectively used on 8th class students.
