By means of the deaf manual system of communication, Personal Construct grids were elicited from profoundly deaf apprentices. Contrary to expectation, the grids are not uni‐dimensional, and they are as well elaborated as grids with the same supplied elements and constructs elicited from hearing subjects. Implications of the deaf subjects' grids are considered in the light of the relationship between thinking and language explored by Furth.
