This investigation was designed to compare the factorial structure of 312 rehabilitation clients' responses to the Tennessee Self-concept Scale to the rationally derived subscale structure of the instrument. Oblique rotations of four variable sets which represent successive condensations of the item sample were carried out. Three conclusions were reached. (1) The effectiveness of balancing positive and negative items to control acquiescence in the scale is questionable. (2) The three design facets of the scale interact in defining the dimensions of examinees' responses. (3) The factorial structure of examinees' responses to the items is generally not consistent with the rational design of the instrument
