This study aimed to develop a behavioral scale toward other people who fail at “taking a hint” and to test its reliability and validity. An internet survey was conducted with 419 university students (M=20.80 years, SD=1.85). The results indicated that the scale had a six-factor structure: Jeer / Tease, Criticize, Follow Along, Ignore, Avoid, and Gossip. Validity was examined in terms of both content and convergence. Reliability was tested in terms of internal consistency, factor invariance, and temporal stability. The results indicated the reliability and validity of the scale.
