Someone said it was a CIA test on the 4chan thread, and it said so too in the link to the Reality Club papers.

CIA might use it but they didn't invent it I don't think. It was some dude. Lol
Edit:
Gittinger worked as a consulting psychologist for CIA during the time he developed the (PAS) from Wechsler’s scales. Early publications describing his (PAS) appeared in academic publications but did not mention Gittinger's employer. Apparently, working covertly for ‘the Company’ was standard operating procedure. While the (PAS) has been used in other areas like education and clinical work, it was developed primarily for assessing personality types of world leaders, according to Krauskopf & Davis (1973). The focus for this paper will be on a brief pattern analysis and the clinical applications of the (PAS) and its ability to predict dangerous behaviors.
So yeah. It's associated with the CIA but it doesn't seem like its utility is limited to spook work.
