The scores from the four su3tests are combined into two groups for
each factor to give separate strength measures for: (1) the Integrated
(or conscious) (Information plus Paired Words) component, and, (2) the
Unintegrated (or unconscious)(Estfmates plus Uaea) component. Thus, the
test user can either use two scores for each of the ten dynamic dimensions
in the N. A. T., or Integrated and Unintegrated scores can be added to
give a single total interest score for each of the ten dynamic dfmenslone.
The final score on each of the ten dynamic structure factorcr i8
actually a sum both Over four devices, or methods of measurement as just
described, and aleo Over distinct attitudes which are known to constitute
good representatives of the dynamic trait. There are a few other scales
developed with this test. Perhaps the most interesting one ist the
Conflict Scale. This scale shows the amount of conflict between the
Integrated and Unintegrated scales.
Cattell reported the scores in stens (standard scores) for each of
these scales. The statistical procedure used in arriving at these scores
is ipsative in nature. One can learn the total strength of each of these
drives in the individual being tested and be able to make diagnostic predictions
from them.
