Abstract

  1. High school children were asked to write in the name of a classmate who fitted into a category described on a chart entitled "Types of Persons I Have Met." There were 44 possible classifications, such as Alibi Ike, Goody-goody, Honest Type, Pussy-Foot, Tough. In two classes, numbering 75 and 72, the author found that there was considerable agreement in the selection of the individuals for the types and concludes that a person's social stimulus value tends to be relatively consistent.
