“…By contrasting getting close with getting distant and relating from above downwards with relating from below upwards, he had, quite independently of the interpersonal psychologists, created his own biaxial system (Birtchnell, ). A colleague pointed out to him the similarity of his system to Lorr and Youniss's () Interpersonal Style Inventory. He wrote to Lorr, who put him in touch with Wiggins () who wrote back, ‘I continue to be amazed at the number of people who have proposed similar systems quite independently of each other.’ Wiggins () had published an extensive account of a range of such systems.…”

The interpersonal circle and the interpersonal octagon are two separate theoretical systems for representing a person's relating tendencies. Both systems are constructed around a horizontal, close-distant axis and a vertical, upper-lower axis. Both systems acknowledge that relating can be either adaptive or maladaptive, but where the circle incorporates both adaptive and maladaptive forms of relating within the same theoretical structure, there is a separate, adaptive (positive) octagon and and a separate, maladaptive (negative) octagon. Both systems have a questionnaire for the measurement of a person's general relating tendencies, but the octagon-based questionnaire is designed specifically to measure maladaptive (negative) relating. Interrelating concerns the relating that occurs between two specified individuals. Questionnaires have been developed by which each individual can record how, within the framework of the octagon, s/he relates (negatively) to the other and how s/he considers that the other relates (negatively) to her/him. There is no interrelating measure that is based upon the circle.

“…Lorr and Manning (1978) examined the progressive levels of ego development in relation to 15 scales of the Interpersonal Style Inventory (ISI; Lorr & Youniss, 1973), which probe an individual's characteristic ways of relating to other people and also an individual's style of impulse control (Lorr, 1986), and 8 supplementary scales of interpersonal style on a sample of 648 adolescents and young adults. In both males and females, the levels of ego development were characterized by the progressive pattem of interpersonal and impulse control features that Loevinger's model predicts.…”

This study demonstrates the use of structural equation modeling for investigating a hierarchical model of personality based on Loevinger's (1976) conceptualization. This model was constructed to have a multifactorial and hierarchical structure in which the ego development construct served as the source of covariation for specific personality constructs of impulse control, interpersonal style, conscious preoccupations, and cognitive style. This model and three other conceivable models were investigated to determine which structure best represented the relations among specific personality constructs and ego development. The specific personality ccmstructs were identified by chosen from the available pool of measures that were compatibleWe gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Steven De Almeida in scoring the Sentence Completion Test. We also are indebted to Leona Aiken and three reviewers for their careful, thoughtful, and critical suggestions.
