A RECENT article1 described the development and characteristics of seven selfadministering adjective checklists for the measurement of depression. Split-half reliability coefficients for all lists were 0.82 and above. The smallest intercorrelation among the seven lists was 0.82. F tests among groups (normals, nondepressed patients, and depressed patients) were significant at less than the 0.0005 level for all lists. The means of groups increased progressively from normals through nondepressed patients to depressed patients. All t-test comparisons among groups on all lists were significant for females. Normal males did not differ significantly from nondepressed male patients on lists A, B, C, or D.
Although the seven lists are brief (A, B, C, D each consists of 32 adjectives, and E, F, G each consists of 34 adjectives), some situations might require even briefer lists, especially when a battery of tests is to be employed.

In order to avoid confusion, the 14 columns will be numbered sequentially from left to right in ascending order from lists A through G, eg, the left-hand column of list A=1, the right-hand column of list A=2, the left-hand column of list B=3, etc.
Data for the intercorrelation of the 14 lists were collected specifically for this report.
