Abstract
|
Various scores obtainable from the free association test differ considerably in the degree of correlation existing between them. No existing frequency table suffices for the determination of peculiar or pathological responses in a purely objective manner. Of the various scores obtainable from the free association test, the one which agrees best with ratings on "normality of behavior" is that representing the number of pathological responses. The ratings by teachers upon a rating scale of "normality of behavior," which were used in this study as a criterion of tendency towards psychopathy, were probably unduly biased by differences between the children in intelligence.
