SOCIETY FOR PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT 

The Society is dedicated to the development of methods of personality assessment, 

the advancement of research on their effectiveness, and 

the exchange of ideas about the theory and practice of assessment. 

Bruno Klopfer and a group of his students founded the Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) 

in Essex County, New Jersey. The Society is a collegial organization dedicated to the 

advancement of professional personality assessment, to the development of procedures and 

concepts for personality assessment and to the ethical and responsible use of these techniques. 

Initially incorporated as the Rorschach Institute, Inc., in 1938, the organization was renamed the 

Society for Personality Assessment in 1971 to reflect the Society's interest in the entire spectrum of 

issues present in contemporary personality assessment and to focus the Society as a special 

interest group, concerned with promoting the exchange of ideas and information about personality 

assessment in research and practice. 

The Society organizes and conducts an Annual Meeting as partial fulfillment of the incorporator's 

objective "to provide an annual assembly of sharing research findings and clinical experiences". In 

addition, the Society publishes the Journal of Personality Assessment and a newsletter, the 

SPA Exchange. Six Awards are presented by the Society: 

The BRUNO KLOPFER MEMORIAL AWARD is given for outstanding, long-term professional 

contribution to the field of personality assessment. The recipient gives an acceptance presentation. 

The SAMUEL J. and ANNE G. BECK AWARD is given for outstanding early career research in 

the field of personality assessment. The award is presented in conjunction with the University of 

Chicago. The recipient gives an acceptance presentation. 

The WALTER G. KLOPFER AWARD is bestowed annually by the Society for Personality 

Assessment for distinguished contribution to the literature in personality assessment. Eligible 

contributions focus on statistically based research projects. The Journal for Personality 

Assessment Editor selects a panel of Consulting Editors to nominate outstanding articles from the 

previous year, each of which is then rated by the Editor and Associate Editors. In the event of a tie, 

two awards may be given. 

The MARTIN MAYMAN AWARD is bestowed annually by the Society for Personality Assessment 

for a distinguished contribution to the literature in personality assessment. Eligible contributions 

may consist of an outstanding case study, qualitative research project, or theoretical development. 

The JPA Editor selects a panel of Consulting Editors to nominate outstanding articles from the 

previous year, each of which is then rated by the Editor and Associate Editors. In the event of a tie, 

two awards may be given. 

The MARGUERITE R. HERTZ MEMORIAL is a tribute to Dr. Hertz for her long-term professional 

contributions to personality assessment. The memorial is presented by a distinguished member of 

the Society in honor of a deceased eminence from the field of personality assessment. At times, 

the presenter also invites other members to join in relating anecdotes of their personal contact with 

the honoree. 

The MARY S. CERNEY STUDENT AWARD is awarded to the best personality assessment 

research paper submitted by a student. This award carries a small stipend to help defray the cost 

of attending the Annual Meeting.

David Shapiro, Ph.D. 

Dr. Shapiro is currently Professor Emeritus and Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the The New 

School for Social Research in New York City, where he was, at the time of his retirement, Director 

of Clinical Training. After graduating with a degree in a degree in Philosophy and Mathematics 

from UCLA in 1945, he went on to complete the Ph.D. at USC in 1950. He served as Chief 

Psychologist at the Austin Riggs Center from 1952-1960. The majority of Dr. Shapiro's 60 year 

career has been spent in the independent practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy, from which 

has issued a highly influential series of books, including NEUROTIC STYLES (1965), 

AUTONOMY AND RIGID CHARACTER (1981), PSYCHOTHERAPY OF NEUROTIC 

CHARACTER (1989), and DYNAMICS OF CHARACTER: SELF-REGULATION IN 

PSYCHOTHERAPY (2000). 

2012 SAMUEL J. AND ANNE G. BECK AWARD 

James Hoelzle, Ph.D. 

Dr. Hoelzle received his undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Illinois, 

Urbana-Champaign and completed his doctoral work at the University of Toledo specializing in 

Assessment. He has attained extensive training in clinical neuropsychology through a 

Neuropsychology Fellowship at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center and Clinical Internship at Rush 

University Medical Center. Dr. Hoelzle has conducted a number of studies investigating the core 

constructs evaluated by neuropsychological and personality instruments, and whether these factor 

structures are replicable across samples and consistent with clinical theories. He is contributing to 

a number of ongoing investigations of mild traumatic brain injury at the Minneapolis VA Medical 

Center. An additional research interest is how insufficient effort on neuropsychological measures 

and exaggerated emotional distress is identified in different clinical settings. Dr. Hoelzle joined 

Marquette University in 2010 and teaches undergraduate courses in Cognitive Psychology and 

Psychological Testing. At the graduate level, he teaches Clinical Assessment. 

2012 MARGUERITE R. HERTZ AWARD 

in memory of Anne Anastasi, Ph.D. 

Anne Anastasi was an extraordinary woman. She was an internationally recognized expert in 

psychological testing and the psychology of individual differences. Anastasi’s world wide acclaim 

was due mainly to her extremely popular Psychological Testing textbook, which set a standard of 

excellence due to its accuracy, lucidity, and comprehensiveness, and was published in seven 

editions—from 1954 to 1997—and translated into many languages. However, she had a 

professionally productive career that spanned 70 years and included two other major works on 

Differential Psychology (1937, 1958) and Fields of Applied Psychology (1964, 1979), as well as 

many influential articles. Anastasi taught psychology courses for almost 50 years, from 1930, as an 

instructor at Barnard College, until 1979 when she retired from Fordham University. She was an 

acknowledged leader and sought after consultant to various corporations and test publishing 

companies. During her lifetime, Anastasi received most of the awards that the American 

Psychological Association bestows for outstanding achievement and rose to the highest offices in 

several of the professional organizations to which she belonged, including the presidency of the 

APA itself (1971-1972). She was only the third woman to be elected to that office, after Mary 

Whiton Calkins (1905) and Margaret Floyd Washburn (1921). In 1987, Anastasi’s professional 

contributions were recognized by President Ronald Reagan who presented her with the National 

Medal of Science, the highest honor that the United States government confers for scientific work. 

She is one of only eight psychologists who have received this accolade in the 52 years since this 

honor was created.

2012 MARY CERNEY STUDENT AWARD 


Luciano Giromini has just obtained (January 2012) a PhD in Social, Cognitive and Clinical 

Psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He has focused his doctorial work on statistics, 

psychometrics, and assessment. Since January 2009 Luciano has served as a Research Fellow at 

the CSPP, Alliant, under the supervision of Dr. Viglione. During these two years, they, along with 

Luciano’s Italian mentors, Dr. Piero Porcelli & Dr. Laura Parolin, have conducted two EEG studies 

on the Rorschach test and its neurological correlates with Dr. Pineda at the UCSD. The first study 

was published in Biological Psychology, the second in NeuroReport. He is also contributing to the 

research and development of the new Rorschach Performance Assessment System.

Early Career Travel Awards 

These awards are given annually to encourage and promote the training and education of early 

career psychologists in personality assessment, as well as participation in and consumption of 

personality assessment research and scholarly activity at the Annual Meeting. Each year, 10 

awards in the amount of $500 will be given to support travel to the Annual Meeting. Applicants do 

not need to be a presenter at the Annual Meeting or a member of SPA to receive this award. On 

the application form (under the Annual meeting tab, General Information link on the web page at 

www.personality.org), applicants will need to identify how they hope the SPA Annual Meeting will 

benefit their career development as an assessment psychologist. First time attendees of the SPA 

Annual Meeting are especially encouraged to apply. 

Student Travel Grants 

In an effort to encourage training of students and promote research and writing on personality 

assessment, SPA offers grants to students who attend the Annual Meeting. Awards are available 

for amounts up to $200 to help defray costs of travel to and from the Annual Meeting. Due to 

limited funds, grants are small, so students should not expect full reimbursement for their travel. 

Eligibility: Students applying for grants must be an SPA student affiliate, or apply to be a student 

affiliate when applying for the travel grant. Priority will be given to students for whom other travel 

funding is not available. 

Application Process: Applications are available on our web page at www.personality.org the 

Student tab (SPA Awards link) and the Annual Meeting tab. Applications must be returned to the 

SPA office no later than February 15, 2012. 

Award Process: Students will be notified about the travel grant prior to the Annual meeting; and 

checks can be picked up at the Annual Meeting registration desk. 

Student Lunch 

SPA will sponsor a lunch for students to have an opportunity to interact with Thomas Widiger, 

Ph.D. There will be a nominal fee of $10.00 for the lunch. Register for the lunch on the registration 

form. Saturday, March 17, 12:45 pm 

Volunteers 

As has been the tradition, SPA solicits the help of student volunteers to monitor the continuing 

education sessions (workshops, and CE bearing scientific sessions). This task is integral to the 

continuing education portion of the conference. 

In March 2012, SPA is sponsoring 23 workshops (Wednesday, Thursday morning and Sunday), 17 

symposia, roundtable and case discussions, two Master Lectures, one award presentations, and 

three lunchtime presentations (Thursday afternoon through Saturday), all offering CE credit. 

Consequently, at least 75 student volunteers is vital. 

The perk for students who volunteer to monitor a workshop is that they may attend the workshop at 

no cost, even if they are not registered to attend the Annual Meeting. The perk for students who 

volunteer to assist during the Annual Meeting and monitor a CE scientific session, an award 

session, or a Master Lecture is that they can register for the Annual Meeting at the reduced rate of 

$50. Contact Paula J. Garber at manager@spaonline.org. 

Poster Sessions 

At the 2012 SPA Annual Meeting we will be judging the posters that have been accepted for 

presentation. Each poster session will be judged separately. A first place and two honorable 

mention ribbons will be awarded during each poster session. Thursday, March 15, 6:30 pm, Friday, 

March 16, 6:15 pm, and Saturday, March 17, 6:30 pm

SPA Interest Groups 

SPA members have expressed an interest in continuing to have an opportunity to interact with 

other members who are engaged in personality assessment in similar venues. In 2012 the 

following interest groups will be available for your participation: 


Co-Chairs: John E. Kurtz 


The focus of the Assessment Research Interest Group meeting will be on funding options for 

assessment researchers. Participants will describe their experiences with various funding 

agencies, and strategies specific to funding projects in assessment. 

Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment 

Co-Chairs: Hale Martin, Deborah Tharinger 


People interested in collaborative and therapeutic assessment will meet to discuss new 

developments in the field and support each other. In past years, attendees have shared successes, 

quandaries, research interests, and ideas about how to develop and market 

collaborative/therapeutic assessment. Everyone is welcome, including students, those new to 

collaborative and therapeutic assessment, and those with a great deal of experience and 

knowledge. 

Forensic Psychology 

Co-Chairs: Marvin Acklin, Nancy Kaser-Boyd 

Saturday, March 17, 2012, 12:45 pm 

The mission of the FIG is developing interest and momentum for the implementation of this vital 

area of personality assessment evaluation within the scope of SPA’s overall mission and to 

disseminate findings to the membership and Board: to develop membership and Board interests 

and resources, support publications in JPA, scientific pre-sentations at annual meetings, and 

continuing education workshops. 

Psychoanalytic Assessment 

Co-Chairs: Charles Peterson, Jed A. Yalof 


The mission of the Psychoanalytic Interest Group is to provide SPA members with a focused 

opportunity to discuss their interest in psychoanalytic applications to personality assessment. The 

group supports the mission of the SPA Board of Trustees by fostering membership interest in the 

sharing of direct service, supervisory, and research experiences and initiatives in personality 

assessment that are informed by psychoanalytic theory; by discussion of past and contemporary 

literature that is foundational to a psychoanalytic understanding of personality assessment; and by 

encouraging scientific presentations, posters, continuing education workshops, and publications 

that integrate psychoanalytic theory with personality assessment. 

Teaching/Training Personality Assessment 

Co-Chairs: Virginia Brabender, Joni Mihura 


Members of this interest group are dedicated to training the next generation of psychologists in the 

proficiency of personality assessment. Academic and field-based trainers are strongly encouraged 

to attend. Students and clinicians welcome. 

Silent Auction 

As is SPA’s tradition, a Silent Auction will be held and again we are asking members to donate 

“large ticket” items if at all possible; i.e., a week and/or weekend at your vacation home; a gourmet 

dinner for four prepared by a member; season passes to a family theme park; theater or movie 

passes; art work; photography; electronics; gift certificates for hotels, stores, restaurants; jewelry, 

etc. Contact SPA if you have items or services you wish to donate to the Silent Auction, which 

benefits the Student Travel Grants.
