The importance of ratings as a psychological measuring device where objective data are impracticable or impossible, is discussed as an introduction to this study. Rating scales from Galton, Downey, and Plant are given in full and eleven different methods of constructing scales are described. The criteria for determining the reliability of rating scales are considered, as are the various criticisms that have been made against the method. The graphic rating scale was originated in the Scott Co.'s laboratory in 1920 and is the basis of all later variations. Advantages of this method are stated as follows: simple, interesting, quickly filled out, easily scored, the rater is freed from quantitative terms, the descriptive terms aid the rater, it requires no master scale as does the Army Scale, and the fineness of the scoring may be altered at will. High correlations of reliability have been found for this method though the author enumerates certain cautions and gives a number of rules for the construction of scales. Freyd strongly endorses the graphic rating method and states in conclusion the various uses to which it can be put.
