The 16PF was administered in either Spanish or English to 546 Anglo‐ or Mexican‐Americans separated into three ethnicity/test language groups: Anglos tested in English, Mexican‐Americans tested in Spanish, and Mexican‐Americans tested in English. Multivariate and univariate statistics revealed significant differences among the three groups. The largest number of scale differences was between Anglos and Mexican‐Americans tested in Spanish. The second largest number of differences was found between the two Mexican‐American groups, and the smallest number of differences was found between Anglos and Hispanics tested in English.
