Form E of the Sixteen Personality Factors Questionnaire (16 PF—E) was administered to 286 adults (168 men, 118 women) who resided in public facilities for the mentally retarded. Based on each subject's 16 primary-trait raw scores, standard sten scores were established for the subject population. Experimental norms for the 16 PF—E responses of mentally retarded adults are presented.
