In two experiments with geometrical figures as stimuli, constructed in order to generate perceptual variation of roundness and height, four multidimensional scaling methods were compared, two metric and two nonmetric. The methods gave similar solutions. The fact that the solutions could be interpreted in accordance with expectations, points to the validity of the methods.
