50 students were tested with the Index of Adjustment and Values and a free association test which used Index traits as stimulus words. 14 weeks later subjects were retested with both instruments. The test-retest data, the author concludes, indicate that "changes in trait ratings from test to retest are accompanied by changes in the emotionality of the traits for the subjects and that ratings on the Index . . . are valid measures of changes in emotionality."
