1. The Method of Indirect Estimate gives far higher reliability coefficients, 

 ranging iisnally from •GO to -70 as i^ainst -45 to -rjO; and generally gives results 

 more consonant with those of general experience and of research in other special 

 directions (''-fir-, rarity of negative correlations). 



2. The intercorrelations between estimates of the several primary emotions 

 (McDougall's list enlarged) commonly exhibit a hierarchical arrangement (see 

 Table I.), and suggest the presence of a general factor common to all the 

 primary emotions, whieh in turn may he independently identified with ' general 

 emotionality.'
