Sack s sentence completion test report
 Herman Ebbinghaus is generally credited with developing the
first sentence completion test in 1879.Ebbinghaus’s sentence
completion test was used as part of an intelligence test. He used
is test to study his interest in the development intellectual
capacity and reasoning ability in children.
 Carl Jung was the first to look at if sentence completion could be
used for personality assessment. He thought the personal
meanings of word associations could be used. He popularized the
idea that inner notions could be analyzed through people’s
associations of different words.
 In his methods, he would say a list of words to the person being
tested and with each word, the client would be asked to say the
first thing that came to their mind (Hersen, 2003). Jung’s test used
mother, father, sex, and work.
Sack s sentence completion test report
 The beginning of using the formal sentence
completion method for personality assessment
was in 1928 with Arthur Payne. Payne used the
tests for guidance purposes in asylums and
institutions and to assess career-related personal
traits (Schafer, Rotter, Rafferty, 1953).
 Alexander Tendler used the method to study
emotional reactions. With his tests, all his
sentences began with I and revealed something
about annoyances, fears, aversions, like,
interests, and attachments. It has never been
validated that these tests can be used in
emotional contexts (Schafer et al, 1953).
 As opposed to Tendler and Payne, Amanda Rhode
decided not to focus on specific aspects of personality,
but use the measure to develop a general personality
test. She developed the first validated personality
measure of this kind and discussed abroad range of
personal issues and experiences (Rhode, 1957). The
purpose of the measure was to “reveal latent needs,
sentiments, feelings, and attitudes which subjects
would be unable or unwilling to recognize or to
express in direct communication” (Weiner & Greene,
2008). Most sentence completion methods today were
developed from the basis of Amanda Rhode’s test and
theories.
 One of the most popular of these tests is the RISB, or Rotter Incomplete
Sentence Blank. The original version of the test was developed in 1950 by
Rotter and Rafferty. The main objective of the test was to create a version
of the sentence completion method that could be administered and
scored easily to permit a widespread use. They also wanted to provide
specific diagnostic criteria so the results of the exam could be obtained
more quickly. However, the test was not intended to give a full view of
personality, but more of a starting point for clinicians to take direction
from. The current version of this test has three forms at different levels
including High School, College, and Adult. The test is scored on a seven
point scale with answers being tagged from a conflict (pessimism,
hostility, hopelessness) to neutral (stereotypes, catchphrases, cliches) to
positive (humor, optimism, acceptance) rating. It takes about 15 to 35
minutes to complete with scoring ranging in time depending on the
familiarity with administering the test. This is the most popular form of
the Sentence Completion Method used today (Hersen, 2003).
 The uses of sentences completion test include
personality analysis, clinical application,
attitude assessment, achievement motivation
and measurement of other constructs. They
are used in several disciplines, including
psychology, management, education, and
marketing.
 Dr. Joseph M. Sacks and other psychologist of the
New York Veterans Administrative Mental Hygiene
Service developed a sentence completion test
designed to obtain significant clinical material in
four representative areas of adjustment namely:
 Sentence completion tests typically provide
respondents with beginnings of sentences, referred
to as “stems,” and respondents then complete the
sentences in ways that are meaningful to them.
 SCALE FAMILY: The family area included
three sets of attitudes namely: a) those
towards mother, b) father, and c) family unit.
It is hoped that even when the subject
becomes evasive or cautious, at least one of
the four items in each area will reveal
significant response.
 SEX: The sex area includes attitudes towards
woman and heterosexual relationship. The 8
items in this area allows the subject to
express himself with regards to woman,
towards marriage, and with respect to sexual
relationship.
 INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP: The area of
interpersonal relationship includes attitudes
towards friends and acquaintances,
colleagues at work or school, superior at
work or school, and people supervised. The
16 items in this area affords the subject to
express his feelings towards those.
 SELF-CONCEPT: The area of self-concept
includes fear, guilt feelings, goals and
attitudes towards one’s own ability, concept
of himself as he is, he was and as he hopes to
be. There are 24 items included in this area.
 Usually, sentence completion tests can be
interpreted in two different ways: subjective-
intuitive analysis of the underlying motivations
projected in the subject's responses, or
objective analysis by means of scores assigned
to each completed sentence. Multiple themes
can occur in a short test, which gives the
examinee multiple opportunities to reveal
underlying motivations about each topic during
data analysis. Of course, most sentence
completion tests are much longer-anywhere
from 40 to 100 stems-and contain more themes-
anywhere from 4 to 15 topics.
 Sentence completion tests usually include
some formal coding procedure or manual.
The validity of each sentence completion test
must be determined independently and this
depends on the instructions laid out in the
scoring manual.
 Compared to positivist instruments, such as
Likert-type scales, sentence completion tests
tend to have high face validity .
Attitude towards Father items: 1. I feel that my
father seldom works. 16. If my father would do
better. 31. I wish that my father is dead. 46. I feel
that my father is no good.
 Those four responses are considered together
and interpretative summary is made that
crystallizes the clinician’s impression of the
subjects’ attitude towards in this area. In this
case, the summary stated: “Extreme hostility and
contempt or overt death wishes”.

the therapeutic aid in handling emotional

Sack s sentence completion test report

  • 2.  Herman Ebbinghaus is generally credited with developing the first sentence completion test in 1879.Ebbinghaus’s sentence completion test was used as part of an intelligence test. He used is test to study his interest in the development intellectual capacity and reasoning ability in children.  Carl Jung was the first to look at if sentence completion could be used for personality assessment. He thought the personal meanings of word associations could be used. He popularized the idea that inner notions could be analyzed through people’s associations of different words.  In his methods, he would say a list of words to the person being tested and with each word, the client would be asked to say the first thing that came to their mind (Hersen, 2003). Jung’s test used mother, father, sex, and work.
  • 4.  The beginning of using the formal sentence completion method for personality assessment was in 1928 with Arthur Payne. Payne used the tests for guidance purposes in asylums and institutions and to assess career-related personal traits (Schafer, Rotter, Rafferty, 1953).  Alexander Tendler used the method to study emotional reactions. With his tests, all his sentences began with I and revealed something about annoyances, fears, aversions, like, interests, and attachments. It has never been validated that these tests can be used in emotional contexts (Schafer et al, 1953).
  • 5.  As opposed to Tendler and Payne, Amanda Rhode decided not to focus on specific aspects of personality, but use the measure to develop a general personality test. She developed the first validated personality measure of this kind and discussed abroad range of personal issues and experiences (Rhode, 1957). The purpose of the measure was to “reveal latent needs, sentiments, feelings, and attitudes which subjects would be unable or unwilling to recognize or to express in direct communication” (Weiner & Greene, 2008). Most sentence completion methods today were developed from the basis of Amanda Rhode’s test and theories.
  • 6.  One of the most popular of these tests is the RISB, or Rotter Incomplete Sentence Blank. The original version of the test was developed in 1950 by Rotter and Rafferty. The main objective of the test was to create a version of the sentence completion method that could be administered and scored easily to permit a widespread use. They also wanted to provide specific diagnostic criteria so the results of the exam could be obtained more quickly. However, the test was not intended to give a full view of personality, but more of a starting point for clinicians to take direction from. The current version of this test has three forms at different levels including High School, College, and Adult. The test is scored on a seven point scale with answers being tagged from a conflict (pessimism, hostility, hopelessness) to neutral (stereotypes, catchphrases, cliches) to positive (humor, optimism, acceptance) rating. It takes about 15 to 35 minutes to complete with scoring ranging in time depending on the familiarity with administering the test. This is the most popular form of the Sentence Completion Method used today (Hersen, 2003).
  • 7.  The uses of sentences completion test include personality analysis, clinical application, attitude assessment, achievement motivation and measurement of other constructs. They are used in several disciplines, including psychology, management, education, and marketing.
  • 8.  Dr. Joseph M. Sacks and other psychologist of the New York Veterans Administrative Mental Hygiene Service developed a sentence completion test designed to obtain significant clinical material in four representative areas of adjustment namely:  Sentence completion tests typically provide respondents with beginnings of sentences, referred to as “stems,” and respondents then complete the sentences in ways that are meaningful to them.
  • 9.  SCALE FAMILY: The family area included three sets of attitudes namely: a) those towards mother, b) father, and c) family unit. It is hoped that even when the subject becomes evasive or cautious, at least one of the four items in each area will reveal significant response.
  • 10.  SEX: The sex area includes attitudes towards woman and heterosexual relationship. The 8 items in this area allows the subject to express himself with regards to woman, towards marriage, and with respect to sexual relationship.
  • 11.  INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP: The area of interpersonal relationship includes attitudes towards friends and acquaintances, colleagues at work or school, superior at work or school, and people supervised. The 16 items in this area affords the subject to express his feelings towards those.
  • 12.  SELF-CONCEPT: The area of self-concept includes fear, guilt feelings, goals and attitudes towards one’s own ability, concept of himself as he is, he was and as he hopes to be. There are 24 items included in this area.
  • 13.  Usually, sentence completion tests can be interpreted in two different ways: subjective- intuitive analysis of the underlying motivations projected in the subject's responses, or objective analysis by means of scores assigned to each completed sentence. Multiple themes can occur in a short test, which gives the examinee multiple opportunities to reveal underlying motivations about each topic during data analysis. Of course, most sentence completion tests are much longer-anywhere from 40 to 100 stems-and contain more themes- anywhere from 4 to 15 topics.
  • 14.  Sentence completion tests usually include some formal coding procedure or manual. The validity of each sentence completion test must be determined independently and this depends on the instructions laid out in the scoring manual.  Compared to positivist instruments, such as Likert-type scales, sentence completion tests tend to have high face validity .
  • 15. Attitude towards Father items: 1. I feel that my father seldom works. 16. If my father would do better. 31. I wish that my father is dead. 46. I feel that my father is no good.  Those four responses are considered together and interpretative summary is made that crystallizes the clinician’s impression of the subjects’ attitude towards in this area. In this case, the summary stated: “Extreme hostility and contempt or overt death wishes”.
