The analysis of scale construct validity show that the correlation coefficients between each factor is at a interval of 0.227-0.567, and that the correlation coefficients between each factor and total scale is at a interval of 0.529-0.821, both of them are significant.5 scale factors and EPQ-RSC's P, E scale were significantly different at the 0.01 level at a associated opposite direction, except the dimension of impartiality is positive correlation with the N-scale of EPQ-RSC, the other dimensions are negative correlation. Except the dimension of impartiality is negative correlation with the BPRS dimension, the other four dimensions and more with the BPRS was positively correlated with each dimension.5 dimensions scale consistency reliability values internal is 0.540-0.846, while the total scale was 0.890. Interval of 2 weeks of test-retest reliability values internal is 0.696-0.921 (p<0.01). The scores of men in the two factors namely perseverance and maturity are higher than women and the differences are significant;men are significant differences in responsibilities, compatibility and fairness of the three factors with women at higher scores, and except the responsibility,all have reach a significant level. The differences among the three factors scores at all ages namely perseverance,fairness and affinity are significant. As different test in the occupational groups showing, the scales of farmers,workers,self-employed and other groups, except the dimension of maturity, all the five factors are no significant differences; And in teachers, civil servants and medical personnel groups, except the dimension of maturity, all their levels have reached a statistically significant difference; three student groups in the scale scores on the five factors except the dimension of justice, all reach the level of significance. General population sample of patients with coronary heart disease, cancer patient samples except differences in the maturity dimension do not reach statistically significant levels, the other four dimensions are significantly different.Conclusion:The research has been completed the establishment of the healthy personality structure of contemporary China scale initially.
