A Critique of Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory
Oakland, James A.; And Others
Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 18, 2, 75-85, Spr 78
Everett Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory is a significant and widely used contribution to humanistic psychology and personality assessment. W. S. Zimmerman (1969) evaluated the POI and his observations led to the development of a complementary form, the POD (Personal Orientation Dimensions) and to a new test, the DOSAB (Dimensions of Self-Actualization Behavior). Briefly reviews, amplifies, and extends these observations. (Author/RK)
