Similarly, there is restructured version of the MMPI-A, the MMPI-A-RF. The MMPI-A-RF consists of 241 items that assess psychopathology and personality using the newest models available.[1]
Evaluation of Religion and Personality Article
Given this topic is not highly explored yet, there is a fair amount of good information in this article. However, Wikipedia should read more like an encyclopedia; this article reads kind of like an essay written the night before it is due. My main suggestion is to organize the content and elaborate better. Since most of personality research is based around the Five Factor Model, that is what the article focuses on a lot. I would really like to see more concrete examples of how each trait relates to a person's overall religiosity. Currently the article rattles off a lot of different correlations about the FFM traits and how religious one person is. I do not think that correlations are going to give the average reader a good idea of how personality actually relates to religion. Or if concrete examples cannot be given, perhaps the data could be organized in a better way. A graph may give the reader a better idea of how the five traits relate to religion in comparison to one another. Even a bullet-pointed list may be easier to read and comprehend.
My main concern is that I read the article and cannot really remember a lot of information from it. A reader may not know everything about a topic after reading an article, but I would want the reader to be able to remember the important parts. Mainly I learned that religion and personality are related in some ways, but that those ways in which they are related are not completely known. I would like to change this page to make each of the theories surrounding religion and personality a bit more concise. Since most of the theories do not have abounding empirical research, I would not want to spend to much time explaining the gory details.
There is definitely a content gap here. While there may not be a ton of information on this topic, the information could definitely be better communicated.
