Using 49 traits, the authors have constructed an "Index of Adjustment and Values," which is designed to measure "the values of a person, his acceptance of self, and the discrepancy which exists between his concept of self and his concept of his ideal self." Split-half and test-retest reliability coefficients are given. On the basis of three studies, the authors conclude that "the Index is a valid measure of adjustment and values."
