The University Personality Inventory (UPI, full name, University Personality Inventory) is one of the most commonly used standard tools for new students’ mental health census and screening in domestic universities. This questionnaire is organized and compiled by the National University Health Management Association of Japan. After years of verification, it is highly authoritative and practical in the fields of psychological counseling and mental health in colleges and universities. The Chinese version was officially introduced and locally revised in 1993 by Scholars such as Fan Fumin, a professor of psychology at Tsinghua University. It has been widely used in student psychology assessment work in various domestic universities.
College Student Personality Questionnaire Test Background and Professional Value
The main goal of the College Student Personality Questionnaire (UPI) is to identify individual students who may have psychological distress in the early stage, so as to achieve the mental health work goal of ’early detection and early intervention’. Compared with ordinary personality tests, UPI focuses more on psychological adaptation problems that are unique to college students, including emotional fluctuations, academic stress, social anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and possible risks of psychological disorders (such as neuroticism, depression, schizophrenia, etc.).
This scale not only has good psychometric characteristics, but also has an entry setting that is close to the real life of college students. It is suitable for large-scale group assessments and is also suitable for individuals to conduct preliminary assessments of their self-psychological status.
