As can be seen from this example, I utilise the difference to demonstrate the degree of the analogy. In order to find a basis for the sum of the resemblance I have calculated the differences among all Dr. Fürst's test-persons, not related among themselves, by comparing every female test-person with all the other unrelated females; the same has been done for the male test-persons.

The most marked difference is found in those cases where the two test-persons compared have no associative quality in common, All the groups are calculated in precentages, the greatest difference possible being 200/15 = 13.3 per cent.

I.The average difference of male unrelated test-persons is 5.9 per cent., and that of females of the same group is 6 per cent.

II.The average difference between male related test-persons is 4.1 per cent., and that between female related test-persons is 3.8 per cent. From these numbers we see that relatives show a tendency to agreement in the reaction type.

III.Difference between fathers and children = 4.2.
Difference between mothers and children = 3.5.

The reaction types of children come nearer to the type of the mother than to the father.
