TI  - Predicting adolescents' global functioning from personality typologies.
PG  - 63-80
AB  - This study examined the utility of three personality typologies in predicting 
      global functioning in a non-clinic sample of adolescents. Participants were 140 
      students from middle class suburban public high schools (74 girls; mean age = 
      16.0 +/- 1.2; 70.7% Caucasian, 11.4% African American, 7.1% Asian, 7.1% Hispanic, 
      and 3.6% other) who completed psychometrically sound standardized measures of 
      personality. They were combined into three four quadrant personality typologies. 
      Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) ratings were based on clinical interviews 
      utilizing DSM criteria and were obtained by raters blind to self-report results. 
      All three systems overlapped modestly but significantly. Each model detected 
      significant GAF differences among quadrants. There was no gender difference in 
      representation among the quadrants of the three systems. Results suggest that 
      compared with unitary dimensions of personality, typologies concurrently 
      utilizing two dimensions of personality functioning better capture individual 
      differences on a complex psychological construct such as global functioning. 
      Further research is warranted to examine the utility of these typological systems 
      in predicting global functioning across a variety of clinical and nonclinical 
      adolescent populations, and to determine how other aspects of global functioning 
      may influence or interact with personality typologies.
