Abstract
In order to further specify the structure of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), correlations among the first order factors of the CPI were factor analyzed, yielding two second order factors. These factors were described, and were named General Adjustment and Social Sensitivity, respectively. The second order configuration of CPI scales appeared to be consistent with other research done on the scales. It was suggested that, like the 16PF, second order factor scores for the CPI could have some utility.
