. Sixty‐seven subjects with mild or moderate intellectual disability were assessed on a variety of measures of emotion. All of the measures were self‐report measures and all of the data is based on reports by die subjects' themselves. The battery included the Zung Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale, the Zung Depression Inventory, the General Health Questionnaire and the Eysenck‐Widi‐ers Personality Test. The results reveal an impressive amount of convergent validity in the subjects' emotional systems.
