The Thurstone Personality Schedule was one of the first personality tests.[1] It was published by Louis Leon Thurstone and Thelma Gwinn Thurstone in 1930.[2] It underwent many revisions and adaptions.

6 year test-retest reliability was 0.53 in one study.[3]

In 1952 around 200 firms used the test for personnel screening.[4]
