Abstract
A 114-item sentence completion test of hostility, aggression anxiety, projection of hostility, and dependency was scored with an explicit scoring standard, correlated with extrapunitive and intropunitive peer ratings of 101 subjects, and cross-validated against a second group of 101 subjects. The reliability of peer ratings ranged from +.85 to +.91. Interscorer reliabilities for the sentence completion scales ranged from +.90 to +.98, while odd-even reliability was +.78. Significant correlation ratios between peer ratings and the hostility and aggression anxiety scales of the test were obtained.Keywords
