A scaled-projective measure of interpersonal values.

A projective instrument entitled the "Kilmann Insight Test" (KIT) was devised to measure the Interpersonal Value Constructs (IVCs) of individuals, defined as; the mental categories through which an individual perceives and interprets the desirable and undesirable features of interpersonal behavior. The KIT requires an individual to differentiate on a seven-point scal, 18 IVCs according to how relevant they are to a series of six ambiguous pictures of interpersonal situations. A factor analysis of the KIT's values resulted in two personal Restraint versus Boldness. Comparing the KIT with a self-report instrument containing the same value items as the KIT, seems to be tapping a different concept of values than the self-report assessment.
