I am sure you vill correctly.anticipate that the purpose of this let-
t r is to .request formally that my kaationship with the
be continued for. anotherygar, aaan-extension of the arrangement -
ently in existence. While we have had occasion, alone or with others,
to �primary concern is for
tbe ersoality. Study.
This ic. not t e p aLe roia� etailed progiess repbrt.- Briefly)
Ch') racterize the past year as. one Of consolidation 401 preparation --
solidation of the factor analysis projects initiated earlier, and prepara-
tion for future projects along other promising lines. The most tangible
outcome of the,reeent effort is a group of ten -computer programs for vari-
ous phases of psychological (and other) data processing. A few technical. -
papers have appeared -or been newly written,,J1nd copies of these are here.
It is my plan.to wrap up early in the coming year all of the factorial
evidence relating to the Wechsler, including suggestims as to how this
battery may be amplified, administered and scored to yield a maximum of
reliable inform,ation. I also propose a high prierity for the obtaining of
useful cross-cultural data, such as the material from a Japanese standard-
ization of the-MIS, eild to _investigation of methods_for insuring accurate
cross-cultural norming. Thirdly, I want-to develop further the machine
procedures for--"syndrome analysis," which will make use of the Wechsler
versus Myers-Briggs data now accumulated. On a lover-priority basis than
the above, I would continue to try to involve otheriresearchers in the in- -
terenting problems existing in this whole arca of work.
I have agreed to furnish 4 specific summary accounting of this year's
expenses by the end of Sanuary,.�.192H_On.a cash basis I will probably-ap-
pear to have underspent, but on aaaccrual basis-I-expect to be very close
to the $25,000 budgeted. Therefore, snd in accordance with our conversa-

MEMORANDUM FOR: THE RECORD
SUBJECT : MKULTRA, Subproject 7'7
1. The purpose of this project is to provide funds to continue
the research program conducted by Dr.
77
The program -
is designed to specifically state and empirically refine certain concepts
of personality structure which are basic to the TSD/RB indir ct assess-
ment program.
Z. Dr. continues to spearhead an unusually productive
research program. As n adjunct ttY his full time work on the develop-
ment of indirect assessment techniques, he has undertaken two additional
responsibilities: personal guidance o
esearch program to
relate sornatotyping to personality characteristics (Subproject 134);
and to consult systematically on a traiThg-vrogram for case officers
in psychological assessment techniques. A major portion of Dr,
!effort in the past year has been devoted to developing
certain computer programs which can handle a wider range of
personality data. Since these same computer techniques can be
generalized to the broader problem of data analysis and retrival,
his efforts have excited the interest of other Agency components
as well as the
-2-
During the past year,
has made Substantial progress with his factor analysis of the WA IS
to determine the nature of the approximately 17 factors involved, to
establish the nature of the internal dependencies in Wechsler profiles
across the factors, and to identify and construct performance tasks
that will fill out the factor matrix to a total o120 factors.
3. Daring the following year, Dr.
7
lans to obtain the L.
data necessary to fit the three remaining factors into the personality
profile, and to develop some alternative measures of the factors which
may be more easily obtained by the clandestine services. He will con-
tinue his collection of representative data from other cultures and to
systematize his material for eventual book-length pubiicatiOn
4. The project will be funded and monitored by th
hrough a direct grant to D
accounting will be made to the Fund according to established procedures;--
and unexpended funds will be returned at the end of the year.
5. The cost of this project for a period a:" one year starting
1 January 1962 is estin-ated to be $25, 000. 00. Charges should be made
against Allotment Number 2125-1390-3902.

prior arrangement with the Sponsor and the right to determine ultimate:

A Research Proposal
A Research Proposal
Prepared For
August 16, 1957
MMIIE 41,7
A Research Proposal
e two authors of more or less comprehensive
persona 1 pear, upon rather close but as yet unscientific
examination, to contain important regions of mathematical isomorphism. In
other words, it seems likely that certain of the basic concepts and relation-
ships employed in these theories can be put into a one-to-one correspondence.
At the game time, each theory contains-many further elements that seem likely
to correspond only to concepts or relationships that have not yet been formu-
lated in the language of the other theory. The purpose of this proposal is to
:suggest the importance of exploring empirically the contact between these and
possibly other personality theories, with the objectives of unifying them into a
larger coherent picture and of filling in a relatively greater proportion of the
details of this picture from the combined resources of the present theories.
Among the host of possible definitions of "personality" there are many
which stress the idea that it is-only through an understanding of personality that
one may expect to predict individual behavior, including behavior "intended" to
be adaptive to the physical environment or to other people. Thus, any research
that is able to shed light on the organization of human personality, or-to- provide
measuring instruments of basic parameters of human personality, is seen as
likely to contribute to the advancement of human ecology. The following para-
-graphs' show one way in which this possibility may be approached, and include
preliminary evidence that suggests that this approach may be a fruitful one.
theory is one that is grounded in eXtensive eiipirical observa.,- -
tion an las a ays had objective, "operational" definitions for its concepts. For
the most part,: these have been provided by the Various sub-tests of the Wechsler-
Belfevue Intelligence Stale, although the constructs and relationships that have
been generalized out of careful observation of the performance of subjects on
these sub-tests are regarded as having potentially-even broader theoretical utility.-
For example, efforts to fit the Thurstone Temperament Scales into this structure
have been undertaken but have not yet been fully worked out.
heory, on the other hand, is one that Was first devised as a
serie oa. s ,actions, and which has since been "justified" through the
development of at 'least one kind _of objectively scora terial that appears
to behave consistently with the abstract pi.iuc ip1 S freely erripleyed
Jungian concepts in developing her theory, but has a s to modify and extend
them somewhat in order to "fit the facts" that are yieldekby her instrument, --
known as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.
7ives first importance to a distinction between
zers"- and -"Externalizers". Operationally, an �
internalizes is an individual who is able to perform well on the digit span sub-
test of the Wechsler in comparison with his general level of ability; an external-
izes is .able to per only relatiVely.poorly,- at least when he takes the Wechsler
for the first tim'e. following Jung, draws a basic distinction between in-
dividuals who are u. ' .ed to prefer "Intuition" and other individuals who al.e
supposed to prefer "Sensation" as a mode of perception; a given individual may be measured in this respect by the answers he gives to certain questions about
himself. The writer has begun to administer both the Wechsler and the MYers-
definition rr
ns is plus
(Kendall tad coefficient).- Since'-any'correlation that may exist between these
definitions must be attenuated by the unreliability of measurement inherent in - -:--
beth testing instrurn
-ill-ratty between th
-2
In terms of the writer's present understanding of these two theories,
each makes use of three basic bits of information, along with further bits of
information, in order to classify an individual personality. The question of �
whether any of these are in fact the same basic bits of information is the first
one that should be investigated.
For example
persons that he cal
Briggs to a series of subjects, and currently has 20 cases
of these cases are usable to compute a correlation betwe
of an internalises and Myers'_ definition of an intuitive; the e
bject. Nineteen of the 20 cases are usable tel co:_npute the correlation C
"Rigid" an ' "Thinking". When the whole group is
treate together, the correlation is practically zero; however, the elation
Lot the 9 men is plus .55 and that for the 10 women is - .52 Sine
theory has been developed almost exclusively from data on men, and since, yers1
data regularly recognize important relationships between thinking-feeling and the
sex of the subject, these results may also be regarded as in keeping with a hypo-
thesis of identity between the two authors' concepts. (The absolute magnitudes
of these correlations are lower than for the previous hypothesis. This is partly
due to greater attenuation, since the reliability of the Myers-Briggs score is
only about . 8. It may also be partly caused by a restriction in the range of the
sample, which contains a notable paucity of individuals who, in terminology,
assume a "judging attitude. ")
esult is in excellent accord with a hypothesis of n
d Myers' concepts. (The reliability of the I-1
Myers -Briggs sco . 9,- but the reliability of the deviation of digit span
performance from general ability level is probably much lower. )
second most important distinction is drawn between what he refers to as "Rigid" and "Flexible" persons. These are operationally distinguished
by their relative level of performance on the block designs sub-test of the Wechsler;
rigid persons do well. Myers draws her other basic functional distinction between
individuals supposed to prefer "Thinking" and�others supposed to prefer "Feeling" -
as a mode of judgment; further self-report questions are used to assess an in-
dividual
betwe

It does not appear tha ird basic bit of information, which
distinguishes between indiviclua py "Acceptably" and those who do
so "Unacceptably" on the basis of relative performance on the picture arrange-
ment sub-test of the Wechsler, can be related directly to any of Myers' basic
type distinctions. Jung's concept of "persona," which seems likely to be in-
volved here, is one that Myers has not yet investigated.
On the other hand, it does
information, which clistingui
Jungian sense,: is contained i
action between_ internalizer-
appearjikely that Myers' third basic bit of :
ri.--."Introverts" and "Extraverts" in the
heory as an emergent of the inter-
nd its degree of "compensation".
Thus, if a relatively high performance in the arithmetic sub-test of the Weblsler
is taken as an _indication of "compensation" - extraverts may be hypothesized to
comprise persons who are simultaneously high, or low, on both digit span and
arithinetic, while introverts comprise persons who perform disparately on these
two sub-tests. While the data for our 20 cases can be plotted so as to be consistent
with this hypothesis, the interpretation is utterly dependent on the selection of
appropriate cutting scores for both digit -span and arithmetic, and this should
not be regarded as even tentative evidence.
The discussion that has just been given serves both to spell out a few
examples of the lationship that is hypothesized to exist between the
formulations nd of Myers, and to illustrate some of the difficulties
that stand in ie investigation of such hypotheses. The research that
is here proposed would take off from this point, and would initially explore a
variety of hypotheses of this general kind. Obviously, longer series of cases
need to be examined before even the specific hypotheses raised in this discussion
may be accepted as a basis for guiding the formulation of additional hypotheses
linking other aspects of -these or other theories of personality. Some encourage-
ment may be drawn from the tentative evidence provided by the 20 cases; additional
encouragement may be drawn as rapidly as an interlocking network of consistent
hypotheses can be formulated and empirically validated. Exactly where these
will lead the investigation is impossible to foresee. �
Assiina' ing, however, that substantial areas of isomorphism -can be
elucidated in the course of this research, it should then be possible to combine
the advantage_ of the two sets of operational definitions for the constructs. The
Myers-Briggs has the advantages of easy administrability to groups of persons,
high reiiability (in the sense of internal consistency of measurement) for a
limited number of scores, and a generally non-threatening appearance. The
.Wechsler-Bellevue provides a larger number of scores at a more moderate
- level of reliability, and has the marked advantage of expecting the subject to
do his "best"_ -- capitalizing on a form of motivation that may often invalidate
the paper-pencil questionnaire approach when it is applied to an individual.
By using the Myers-Briggs as a screen for the selection of experimental popu-
lations and as an intermediate criterion for the preliminary validation of new
-4-
"objective" personality tests, it may prove possible to develop materials
that (a) are equivalent to those now in the Wechsler, (b) possess higher reli-
ability and validity, and (c) include ways of measuring facets of personality
that are not now being tapped. By using both instruments together, it may
prove possible to develop a 8cherne for systematically recording observations
of behavior so that they may be readily translated into the unified theoretical
framework. By using either instrument,_according to the requirements of a
feasible experimental design, it may prove possible to map the relationships
of a wide variety of additional variables'on the unified framework; the effects
of "educational" experience, including various forms of psychotherapy, the
effects of physiological "condition" including the influences of heredity and of
sundry chemical and electrical stimuli, and the manifestations of personality
in a variety of "other tests" are all areas of potential interest. Again, which
of these will seem to be the best bet as this research develops is an open
question.

In view of the relatively high degree of uncertainty that is necessarily
associated with plans for the kind of basic research that is outlined above,
proposes that the budget be established initially in terms of a rate of
-5-
expenditure of effort, rather than in terms of specific goals and the costs of
achieving them. On this basis, it seems reasonable to request a grant of
$20,000, to be spent over a period of approximately one year beginning
October 1957 through September 1958. This sum would be sufficient to permit
approximately one man-year of effort by a Research Associate, including all
of the costs which he may generate throughoutli.by his requests for technical
and clerical assistance and by the need for proper adminidration and accounting.
customary accounting system would he used to account for the funds as
they were actually spent, and would be expected to show approximately the
_
following dispositions:
(1) Employee costs (including salaries and wages,
Vacation allowances, contribution to hOspital
and annuity plans, etc. )
(2) Other direct operational costs (including travel,
purchase of special equipment or materials, etc. )
(3) indirect operational costs (including general
supplies, telephope, machine rental, space
rental, depreciation, etc. Indirect costs are
