Role of the matching familiar figures test-20 in the analysis of theoretical validity of the reflection-impulsivity: a study with personality

The present study analyzes the theoretical validity of the cognitive style reflection-impulsivity with an approach based on cognition. For this purpose, it is explored the relationship between personality and reflection-impulsivity. The Matching Familiar Figures Test 20, MFFT-20 (Cairns & Cammoc...
