This paper describes a prototype of the Conceptual Congruence Inventory (CCI), designed to assess the degree of overinclusion and underinclusion of 22 of a person's affective concepts with respect to a standard group. The CCI, the text of which is 15 short descriptions of characters' behavior evaluated for certain "traits" by the testee, was standardized for scale means and SDs with a group of 125 college students. An additional sample of 20 students was used to establish test-retest reliability over a period of 6 months, the correlation coefficient of which was .899.
