Further Research on the Picture Titles Subtest of the IES Test

Abstract

An objective scoring procedure was developed for Dombrose and Slobin's Picture Titles test. This procedure was used to assess sex differences in impulse, ego, and superego functions on a population of university students ranging in age from 18 to 22 yr. The ego variable differentiated more consistently between the sexes than did either the impulse or superego variables. A reversal of sex differences in certain personality functions in relation to age was obtained.
