Definitions

the OCA (Oxford Capacity Analysis) is the English version of the American Personality Analysis (APA). Either may be used. Their administration, scoring and evaluation are handled in the same way. The OCA (or APA) consists of 200 questions. These 200 questions are divided up into series of 20 questions, each of which measures a single personality trait. Thus ten traits are measured in all. The 20 questions that measure each trait are randomly numbered throughout the 200 questions: i.e. the questions that measure trait A are numbered 1, 8, 15, 17, 42, 46, etc. The testee may answer each question either yes, maybe or no. To do this he fills in one of the three small rectangular spaces on the answer sheet which follows each number. (HCO PL 3 Nov 70 II)
