The Development and Validation of the Autotelic Personality Questionnaire.

Autotelic personality is a constellation of dispositional attributes that facilitate engagement and enjoyment in daily activities. However, there is no existing measurement directly capturing the attributes of autotelic personality that are identified in the literature. In the three studies reported here (total  = 900), we developed an Autotelic Personality Questionnaire (APQ) and evaluated its reliability and validity.
