A New Methodology for Developing A Self-Report Psychodiversity Questionnaire: Update and Future Directions For A Work in Progress

A novel self-report methodology for the construction of a multidimensional questionnaire measure of psychodiversity is described and preliminary findings from three exploratory studies examining construct validity in relation to indices of well-being are discussed. Arising from these empirical endeavours, the notion of metamotivational state specific psychodiversity is proposed. The need for additional item generation for the combined alloic-autic and masterysympathy pairs is acknowledged. Suggestions are made for further research developing and using the resultant measure both within and beyond Reversal Theory
