Personality Disorder Questionnaire (PDQ-4+) – Chinese Version

“`html

Description

The PDQ-4+ is a self-report questionnaire developed by Dr. Hyler in 1983 based on the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders in the DSM-III. The PDQ-4+ is a revision based on the DSM-IV and consists of 107 items, categorized into 12 domains, used for assessing the 12 types of personality disorders within the DSM-IV. It serves as a clinical screening tool rather than a diagnostic measure. Cultural differences have been noted in the application of the PDQ-4+ in China, particularly affecting the scores of obsessive-compulsive and avoidant subscales, with notable prevalence rates in the Chinese population.

Purpose

The purpose of this questionnaire is to allow individuals to describe what type of person they are, reflecting on their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors over the past few years.

Test Year

The PDQ-4+ was introduced in 1983, with translations and adaptations for the Chinese population occurring afterwards.

Administration Method and Scoring
