In form C and D, there are eight for the Factor B scale, seven items for the motivational distortion scale, and six items for each of the remaining by a plan to give maximum convenience in scoring by stencil and to insure variety and interest for the examinee. • Form A, B, C & D – 3 choices • Form E & F – 2 choice appears better
