This study aims to translate and validate the Adlerian Personality Priority Assessment(APPA) inKorean. The research data was collected from 699 university students living in Seoul city andKyunggi and Chungcheong provinces to verify levels of confidence and validity using the criteria ofexplanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and reliability analysis.Explanatory factor analysis confirmed the composition of factors, which consisted of 21 questions onfour factors (pleasing, control, superiority, comfort), the same as in the original criteria. In order totest criteria-related validity, the correlation was examined between the sub-elements and the SocialInterest Scale(SIS), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale(DAS), Internal-External Locus of Control Scale(LOC)and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(RSES), based on preceding researches. The results were: df = 183,χ2 = 610.88, RMSEA = .06, IFI = .90, CFI = .90, and GFI = .92. The results of Chronbach’sα to examine reliability were: Pleasing .83, Superiority .80, Comfort .70, Control .68, and a total of.76. Thus, K-APPA was deemed reliable. As such, K-APPA has been proven to be an appropriateinstrument having reliability and validity. Because of this study, K-APPA can help to understandclients’ personality priorities, set up counselling and therapy, and can be utilized in academic fieldsas well.
