Ss conflicted or nonconflicted in the achievement area, as assessed by Worell and Worell's Personality Conflict Scale, were compared on number of arithmetic problems completed in consecutive 2-min. periods. Ss whose scale responses indicated a preference for achievement but the presence of competing behaviors in achievement situations (high conflict) completed significantly fewer arithmetic problems than Ss whose responses indicated not only high achievement need but also the use of comparable achievement-related behaviors (low conflict). Results were discussed as supporting the use of this scale to measure personality conflict
