Table I
Listing
of mean score performance of Four Basic Sub-Types on Psychometric Tests
-
Translated to Rank-Order Form = Number 1 indicates lowest mean score.
= Number 4 indicates
highest mean score.
-
The asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant differences of mean
scores from scores
in
other columns.
For example,
under Rigidity, the sub-type Sacrifice for Reward Later subjects
produced a mean score
on this dimension which was statistically
significantly different
from the sub-types represented in columns
2, 3 and 4.
{In
order to provide information for further research, I have taken the
Dimension Measured listing of
testing variables, as listed in the original presentation paper of Dr.
Graves, and reorganized them.
I have grouped these testing variables according to the possible source
of the tests used.
Some
of the test references are taken from the work of a close colleague Dr.
O. J. Harvey, University
of Colorado. Dr. Graves and Dr. Harvey,
communicating with each other over the years,
used many of the same tests in their research.
A
primary source for this testing information
was: Experience Structure & Adaptability, O. J. Harvey,
Springer Publishing Company,
Inc. New York
1966.
On
some of the tests I was only able to provide testing variable
definitions. There are four conceptions of healthy personality from Dr.
Graves’ initial studies:
- SNFRL = (Sacrifice Now For
Reward Later)
-
ESC = (Express Self Calculatedly)
-
SNFAN = (Sacrifice Now For Approval Now)
-
ESWCFO = (Express Self With Concern for Others).
I
have numbered these conceptions based on Dr. Graves’ continuing
research findings as {4} {5} {6} {7}.}
