This exploratory study produced a 24-item Afrocentricity scale to measure foundational concepts within Molefi Asante's Afrocentricity paradigm. A non-random sample of 380 respondents was used to pilot the scale, resulting in three dimensions. Reliability analysis shows the scale's internal consistency, factor analysis and mean comparisons provided support for the scale's validity. Moving toward the development of a valid and reliable Afrocentricity scale can assist in helping professions of psychology, social work, and health in research and practice. Future research should examine whether the three interpreted dimensions within this scale structure can be replicated across different samples
