“…Although the results from the TMAS proved msignificant, findmgs were m the predicted direction the Artist group had a mean score of 16 2 while the Architect and Engmeer groups had total mean scores of 14 5 and 13 8, respectively The RepressionSensitization Scale, moreover, while not differentiating the Architect group from the Engmeer or Artist groups, did yield a significant difference (p < 05, ^ = 228) between the Artist and Engmeer groups, as predicted (see Table 2) The correlation coeflBcient found between the TMAS and R-S scales m the present study was .83 confirmmg the findmg of Golin, Herron, Lakota, & Remeck (1967) who found these two scales highly correlated ( 87) and concluded that they are practically identical in psychological meanmg That the Artist group, tramed to express emotions m nonrepresentational art forms, should score higher than the Engineer group on both such scales, therefore, is closely in lme with the predicted results from the HIT.…”

As summarized by Holtzman (1968), a number of recent studies have sought to extend the construct vahdity of the standard scores for the Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) (Holtzman, Thorpe, Swartz, & Herron, 1961) These mvestigations have focused on the psychological correlates of HIT scores via use of vanous psychiatnc groups, responses to other measures of personahty, and performance on laboratory type tasks, particularly ones of a perceptual or cogmtive nature In view of the promising results of these studies, additional mvestigations to vahdate further the psychological meaning of scores from the HIT seem mdicatedDespite the wealth of clmical expenence dealmg with mkblot perception, very little systematic information has been obtamed regarding the influence of diflFerent perceptual styles on responses to lnkblots In order to investigate this problem by testing specific hypotheses regarding the relevance of perceptual and cogmtive charactenstics to several HIT scores, subjects were studied who are highly successful m one of three contrastmg modes of visual expenence as defined by their fields of study abstract art, architecture, and engineering drawmg

This chapter is one of the intermittent series which has had "assess ment" in its title. The authors have dropped that term because of its impre cision and its connotations. Assessment has often been used to refer to the combining of measures, usually by human judgment, to predict a criterion. But personality measurement as a whole involves the combination or reduc tion of observations to obtain an index and is concerned with much more than the prediction of criteria. Additionally, the terms assessment and crite ria have an evaluative flavor; while adequacy of functioning is involved in much of personality, a science of personality must not be limited to norma tive considerations. Finally, assessment has the connotation of dealing with the whole person. It seems quite clear that we cannot have a science of the whole person, or even of substantial segments of personality, until we un derstand the components.Most concepts in the personality field are so broad and heterogeneous in their referents that when one concept is used to describe different persons, it is very doubtful that the identical attribute is applied to each. The task fac ing personality today is the identifi cation and delineation of attributes which can be uniformly applied to persons, the objects of this science, with the specifi c applications of each attribute differing only in quantity, not quality. Coordinate with that task is the work of developing operations for measur ing each of these attributes. Such procedures must be standardized so that the measurements can, in principle, be replicated for the same persons and, particularly critical in this area, so that the measurements are getting at the same attribute in the different persons measured, without any sizable per son-instrument interaction. This chapter is concerned with the extent to which these standards are being approximated in personality measurement today.A science develops by an interactive or cyclical process, observations leading to concepts, and concepts guiding the next set of observations. In personality, an infi nity of observations has been conceptualized in a variety of sets of terms with general statements about them. These literary or even

“…When analyzed with 37 other personality variables R-S was found to load substantially on the first and fourth factors labelled emotional stability-instability and social approach-avoidance (Weinberg, Note 1). When analyzed with 13 other personality measures R-S was defined largely by two bipolar orthogonal traits of defensiveness and emotionality and unrelated t o extroversion-introversion (Golin et al, 1967). Another somewhat limited study that employed four variables found R-S to be loaded highly on a single factor termed social desirability (Abbott, 1972).…”

Study of the internal structure of the R-S Scale failed to support a finding of unidimensionality or bipolarity, as theory suggests. A factor analysis of the item matrix revealed a poorly defined multifactor structure that contained five relatively weak unipolar factors (N = 200). Guttman's Reproducibility and the Kuder-Richardson Coefficient adjusted for test length similarly failed to support the presence of a unifactor structure. The relatively high Coefficient of Dimensionality was rejected as evidence of unidimensionality given the uncertainty over what psychometric properties this index reflects. The high proportion of S-item interaction variance showed considerable equivocal item content, which suggested marked error factors due to Ss' idiosyncratic interpretation of items.
