Abstract
Administered the original 23-item forced choice Rotter Internal-External Control Scale (I-E) in a Likert, agree-disagree format to 300 undergraduates. There is a common theme through all of the 46 alternatives, but rotation of 4 factors clearly identifies 4 distinguishable and relatively orthogonal subscales. A respondent may score external on the I-E scale because he believes the world is difficult, unjust, governed by luck, or politically unresponsive.
