The ratings were based on interviews of 4 different lengths and made by 6 observers of 160 Ss with respect to 4 personality variables. Decision time showed to be a positively monotonic function of both subjective confidence and amount of information.

The subjects were 40 adolescents who gave co-frequency ratings (how often the reactions co-occurred) for all pairs of 10 preselected reactions to anxiety. The mean co-frequency matrix was subjected to multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The same subjects also rated the intensity of the same reactions in an anxiety inventory of the "S-R" type. The correlations among reactions were computed and compared with corresponding co-frequency estimates. The relationship between these two types of data was relatively high. Factor analysis of the correlations gave a "Psychic" and a "Somatic" reaction factor, whereas the main dimension obtained from co-frequency ratings reflected a general reaction factor. This outcome was supported by the cluster analyses, which yielded two and one clusters, respectively, interpreta...

Ss gave similarity ratings on a numerical scale. Both a dimensional and a category analysis were performed on individual and group data. The results gave a clear and psychologically interpretable structure. The perception of the Rorschach cards was shown to be a function of the three stimulus properties: (a) open form, (b) closed form, and (c) color. The agreement in perceptual structure among individuals was shown to be considerable in this homogeneous “normal” group. Some sex differences were observed. Further use of the methodology is discussed.
