Building and designing psychological scales such as intelligence and skills scales in general, and personality traits in particular, through the cultural and social view that reigns in Sudanese Arab Islamic society, is considered a fact that psychologists should focus and rely on, in building these scales.

Culture and the traditions and knowledge it contains can negatively or positively affect the cognitive and perceptual recognition in personality development. In addition, these personality responses to exceptional life events such as parent's death or marriage or divorce, or being exposed to natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, volcanoes and floods, often respond to symbolism and clues through culture that constitutes an important part of personality.

Most of the psychological. scales that are used in most countries of the world have been built upon American and Occidental mentality; and the psychological studies that have been made to determine Cultural Load, assured the existence of a relation statistically significant between the cultural system and the individual's image of his outer and inner world, through this cultural system. Therefore building those scales should occur upon this cultural system.
