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.
