The validity of the Depression Adjective Check List and a specially developed check list were assessed with 48 black and 53 white juvenile offenders (70 boys, 31 girls) against self-ratings and ratings of 2 black and 2 white teachers. Both check lists correlated significantly with self- (−.29, −.30) and teachers' ratings (.36, .26) for white offenders, although teachers' ratings were correlated unexpectedly negatively with self-ratings (−.41). Only the special check list scores correlated with the two ratings for black offenders. The necessity of limiting use of tests to populations for which they have been validated is discussed.

The Mean

The mean personality scores based on responses to the Adjective Check List by 28 competitive skiers were compared with those for 32 amateurs to evaluate psychological characteristics of both groups (ages ranged from 18 to 26 years). Analysis gave significant differences only for six of 37 scales. In comparison with amateurs, competitors showed more need for achievement, dominance, endurance, exhibition, self-confidence and a more positive Ideal Self.
