Response reliability of the Activity Vector Analysis

Abstract

The Activity Vector Analysis consists of 81 personality-descriptive adjectives. The testee is required to check all items ever used by anyone to describe him, and then all items which he believes best describe him. 52 employed adult university students took the test on two occasions, about two weeks apart. As a measure of retest consistency, a common elements coefficient was calculated for each S, as well as the mean coefficient for the group. "There was considerable individual variability in consistency. While the mean coefficients of overlap for the two sets of choices were .73 and .74, in both sets of choices over half the coefficients were less than .80."
