ACL is a tool destined to assess several personality aspects. In the standard version the examinee has to choose from 300 adjectives the most personally fitting. It may be also administered as an observational scale, when persons knowing the examinee have to select appropriate adjectives. One could also describe social groups, historical characters, and other objects (e. g. cities). The Adjective Check List enables to compute results expressed in 37 scales, e.g. need scales, topical scales, Transactional Analysis scales, origence – intellectence scales, and control scales.

Reliability
Both internal consistency and stability are high in most scales.
Validity
Correlations of the ACL scales with other personality measures (EPQ-R, IVE, STAI, MMPI-2, KPD), as well as comparison of results yielded by persons from various clinical and professional groups, and in combination with demographic factors, enabled to confirm the diagnostic validity of most scales.
Norms
Standard ten, for women and men separately (15–69 years).
The test is also available as an online examination on the Epsilon Platform and as an option for entering and calculating scores from the paper-and-pencil version on the Epsilon Platform.
