The utility of measures of conceptual differentiation is explored within the context of one's description of his body. The “Body Concept Differentiation Test” is described as a measure of conceptual differentiation of the body image. Data are presented regarding the relation of this measure to a standard measure of body-image perception (Barrier scores) and a standard measure of conceptual differentiation (Cart's Interpersonal Differentiation Test). Findings regarding the relationship of scores on the new test to physical and emotional “complaints” are summarized
