Abstract
"1. A statement of the desirable characteristics of an instrument for quantifying clinical assessments is given.... 2. The variable of health-sickness defined by the operations described in this paper seems indistinguishable at this point from the characteristic attribute of self-assessors described in several papers as social desirability. 3. This variable in Q arrays should be controlled within the structure of the Q array. Failure to do so obscures the interrelationship of what we have described as "cultural stereotypes" and other variables in assessments within the particular problem studied. Statistical separation of these variables is possible but cumbersome and inefficient.".
