Abstract
This paper presents a scoring procedure for sex-role orientation that is based on indices of profile similarity reflecting how similar an individual is to androgynous, undifferentiated, masculine, and feminine sex-role types. Data is presented to show that the profile scores are reasonably reliable and consistent with a widely used typological scoring procedure in how sex-role types are defined. Because it yields continuous scores, the profile scoring procedure permits finer comparisons between individuals with different sex-role orientations and may therefore be useful in research in this area.Keywords
