"Self-ratings of individuals were compared with ratings of individuals by a group in close contact with these individuals. The traits rated were 'Personal Charm', 'Security,' 'Intelligence', 'Jewish Appearance.' 'Acceptance of Jewish Faith'." There was "a considerable disparity between the individual's concept of himself and the group's concept of the individual on the variables measured. Personal over- and under-evaluation was, as a group, related to the acceptability of a particular trait--a consistent tendency for overevaluation was obtained."
