The Undergraduate Personality Inventory (UPI) is the abbreviation of University Personality Inventory. The main function of UPI is a mental health questionnaire for college students compiled for the early detection and early treatment of students with psychological problems.
UPI was compiled in 1966 by collective discussions among university psychological counselors and psychiatrists across the country who participated in the All Japan University Healthcare Management Association based on their rich clinical experience and consulting practice. It has a long history of use in some Japanese universities. It mainly targets college students and is used as a mental health status survey when entering school. It is a mental health screening scale. Through UPI, you can learn about neurosis, psychosomatic diseases, schizophrenia, and various worries, confusions and conflicts among college students. The Chinese version of the UPI questionnaire was brought back to China by Professor Fan Fumin of Tsinghua University during his study and cooperative research in Japan from 1990 to 1991. It was translated and revised by Fan Fumin and Wang Jianzhong, and was officially used in my country in 1993.
The Personality Questionnaire for College Students uses a yes-or-no question and chooses one of two options. Choose A when the project is consistent with your situation, and choose B when it is not. The time required to fill out the personality questionnaire for college students is generally ten minutes. The fastest person can complete it in five minutes, and the slow person can complete it in fifteen minutes. It can be used for individual surveys or group measurements. No special preparation is required in advance, and there are no special requirements for the measurement location.
The College Student Personality Questionnaire is a nonstandardized health screening scale. Through the analysis of the College Student Personality Questionnaire, we can not only understand the physical and mental health of the subjects and the main problems, but also understand their family situation, motivation for enrollment, and what kind of help is most important at present. A large amount of valuable information can be obtained in a short period of time, which is especially suitable for establishing psychological files of freshmen. Through screening rules, students who may have psychological problems can be screened out. By inviting consultation, their psychological disorders can be discovered in time and assistance can be provided in a timely manner.
Notes on using UPI: The survey time is generally the second or third week after freshmen officially start classes. After new students enroll, they must first undergo a series of examinations (such as physical examinations, major basic subject examinations, etc.). If serious problems are found, they may be deported. Therefore, the freshmen have a certain degree of nervousness and do everything possible to satisfy themselves during various examinations. Excellent direction to move closer. Secondly, freshmen always want to create a good impression on the new environment after entering school, so they try their best to say that they are excellent in all aspects. Therefore, it is more in line with the actual situation of Chinese students to conduct the UPI test after the enrollment of new students has stabilized for a period of time, so that more accurate data can be obtained.
The UPI questionnaire has a total of 60 multiple-choice questions. The calculation rule for the total score is to sum up the scores of the other 56 questions except the dummy questions. The highest UPI total score is 56 points and the lowest is 0 points.
Questionnaire questions are surveys designed to understand the health status of test takers and to improve your physical and mental health. Please select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ based on your own situation and the items you have often felt or experienced in the past year. In order for you to successfully complete your college studies and welcome your new life in physical and mental health, please make a true choice.
