Impression Formation As A Measure of The Complexity of Conceptual Structure1

Abstract : An alternate is presented to the sentence completion test, which was specifically designed to measure one kind of complexity only: perceptual social complexity. This measure is called the Impression Formation Test. In its original form it was first proposed by Streufert and Schroder (1963), but has since undergone considerable alteration in both administration and analysis. (Author)
