In this study, we consider the possibility of building a bridge between Kelly’s PCP and the new multifactorial models of identity. Given the enormous complexity of each person’s self-concept, we wonder if the information we collect with IRT is sufficiently representative of that vast self-knowledge so that, for example, the self-construction profiles can be considered reliable in the field of evaluation. psychological. We also try to answer whether the Repertory Grid Technique is biased towards the more authentic than communal contents, by the mere formulation of the questions that we use to elicit the constructs.

The purpose of the study:

Characterize what type of content is most likely to capture the Repertory Grid Technique: agentic or communal? Individual, relational or collective? Which ones does it leave out? What relevance do these constructs have for the subject? Are they the most important, or perhaps not so important? In short, since a small sample of personal meanings is necessarily what can be gathered with this and any other instrument, how representative or approximate is the image that it offers of the subject’s self-concept?
