• Prevalence, comorbidity, and behavioral variation in canine anxiety (2016, methodology): “The largest study on canine personality did not find any correlation between the shyness-boldness personality dimension and aggressiveness using DMA test as an assessment of personality (Svartberg and Forkman, 2002); however, the authors later suggested that the DMA test does not assess a dog’s aggr”

• Personality and performance in military working dogs: Reliability and predictive validity of behavioral tests (2010, methodology): “Perhaps the most well-known examples are those involving ‘puppy tests’, where prospective guide or shelter puppies are given a battery of tests designed to measure traits such as fearfulness, sociability, distractedness, and aggression (Svartberg, 2005), and these test results are then compared to t”
• Dog Breeds and Their Behavior (2014, background): “More recently, other studies have provided criterion validation of the CBARQ by demonstrating associations between the various factor and item scores and, for example, training outcomes in working dogs (Duffy and Serpell 2012), the performance of dogs in various standardized behavioral tests (Barnar”

• Behaviour and experiences of dogs during the first year of life predict the outcome in a later temperament test (2014, methodology): “…al.

• Personality in Non‐human Animals (2008, background): “Researchers in applied fields like Applied Ethology focus on practical issues like predicting working dog performance (e.g., Maejima et al., 2007; Svartberg, 2005) and applications in animal welfare and management (e.”
• Dog and owner characteristics affecting the dog–owner relationship (2014, methodology): “The mentality assessment includes 8 subtests and is very similar to the Swedish DMA described by Svartberg and Forkman (2002). The dog owner accompanies the dog during the test, and the dog’s behavioral reactions on the 8 subtests are scored by a certified DMA test leader.”
