A scale of values for 17 groups of ideals was made from the opinions of 500 members of a community. This scale is considered valid only for this community, which, however, appears to be an average one. The married couples showed a greater correlation of opinion than did pairs chosen at random. The length of married life apparently had no influence upon the similarity of opinions of husband and wife. The scales for different groups were all similar in their choice for the four most important ideals, and also for the three least important.
