Abstract
The temporal reliability of the Role Construct Repertory Grid Techniqu e (Rep Grid) was examined using a sample of incarcerated men who had c ommitted violent offenses. The content of repeated administrations of a 10 x 20 Rep Grid was analyzed and then compared for common content. The average shared content of 64% agrees with earlier findings, but a wide range of individual variance was found. These results reveal mode rate temporal reliability for this assessment technique.
