Concurrent validity was examined between an objective analytical method and Uchida's intuitive rating. To evaluate objectively the degree of deviation from “the Normal State Curve” defined by Uchida, the present authors used the two pairs of scores: “Model, Anti-Model or Expected Model and Expected Anti-Model Scores” which were defined by Tsujioka on the basis of his factor analytic model. The concurrent validity between the 2 methods was verified by two approaches: Inductive and deductive. The former was the multiple correlation method while the latter was a method by means of which the coordinates of individual curves plotted on a 2-dimensional orthogonal axes were categorized into several groups. The results show a relatively high degree of concurrent validity.
