The consistent finding that the achievement scales of the Adjective Check List (ACL) and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) are not correlated has led researchers to question the validity of both of these measures. This article presents evidence indicating that although these measures are independent, they can predict the same performance criteria. Of interest is that the EPPS predicts outcomes for men, whereas the ACL predicts performance for women. A topical examination of each measure's relationships to other scales provides a tentative rationale for these scales' orthogonality that does not call into question the validity of either measure.
形容词核对表（ACL）和爱德华个人偏好量表（EPPS）的成就量表不相关这一一致发现，促使研究人员质疑这两种测量方法的有效性。本文提供的证据表明，尽管这些测量方法相互独立，但它们可以预测相同的绩效标准。有趣的是，EPPS能预测男性的结果，而ACL能预测女性的表现。对每种测量方法与其他量表关系的专题研究为这些量表的正交性提供了一个初步的理论依据，而这并不质疑任何一种测量方法的有效性。
