Abstract: ABSTRACT Helmstadter's (1957) formulas for obtaining separate set and content components of a test score were modified for use with personality and attitude scales. The revised formulas for scoring content (C) and set (S) are urn:x-wiley:13889842:ets200894:equation:ets200894-math-0001 where RA is the number of items keyed A that are marked A by the respondent, RB, is the number of items keyed B and marked B, and NA and NB are the number of items keyed A and B, respectively.
