Методика в наиболее часто используемой редакции А. К. Осницкого (с интегральными показателями, формулами и нормами) приводится по первоисточнику (1996).
Первая адаптация Т. В. Снегиревой (1977) приводится в редакции А. М. Прихожан (2005).
В отечественной литературе методика приписывается Карлу Роджерсу, однако опросник – это вольно переведенный «SIO Q-Sort Instrument» авторства J. M. Butler и G. V. Haigh. Он был опубликован в книге под редакцией К. Роджерса и Р. Даймонд («Psychotherapy and personality change»), но использовался иным образом: до и после терапии производилась Q-сортировка карточек для реального и идеального образа себя и подсчитывался коэффициент согласованности. Адаптация Т. В. Снегиревой в какой-то мере еще имеет общие с оригиналом черты, вариант А. К. Осницкого корректнее считать самостоятельной отечественной методикой.
Существует «Тест личностной адаптации» авторства самого Карла Роджерса (Test of Personal Adjustment, 1931), но это совершенно другой тест и к этой методике никакого отношения не имеет.
