That personality tests developed to measure certain variables in one culture may be used to measure the same variables in other cultures is not supported by research. It seems more reasonable to make cross-cultural comparisons on individual items comprising a test than on the variables purportedly being measured by the test. In such a comparison, 102 U. S. college females were observed to be much more expressive of sexual impulse than 110 college females from India. The American Ss showed more social orientation, the Indian Ss more achievement motivation. Both showed a need for dependency and emotional support
