Abstrakt: The article discusses a study on the construct validity of three contemporary measures of achievement related motives. It mentions that the relationships between behavioral variables and the variable called Achievement on the Personal Preference Schedule do not support the inference that strength of motive to achieve success is being measured by the test. The results of the study highlight the importance of discovering why different methods of measuring apparently the same human motive do not yield comparable results.
