This study examined the factor structure of the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales (FACES II) to test the rationale underlying the structure and the scoring system based on that structure. The factor analysis of scores for 197 subjects did not replicate the results reported by Olson, Bell and Portner in 1982. Although two factors that measured cohesion and adaptability were identified, the items did not load as anticipated. The quantification of the circumplex model in the form of FACES II is a major step towards developing an instrument using family system concepts to diagnose problems of life adjustment. This 30-item instrument needs refining to be useful as a reliable, valid measure for practitioners
