A major feature of the PAS is that a personality profile can be systematically interpreted from a set of Wechsler Scales subtest ...
Rather, the strengths were best represented by a one and four factor model. A one factor model would mean that the strengths are best accounted for by, “one overarching factor,” such as a global trait of character.
