This paper suggests that strength of commitment be measured apart from the underlying commitment positions. This suggestion is empirically directed to the study of religious commitments where much conceptual and empirical effort has been spent. Guttman attitudinal components plus items of an intrinsic-extrinsic nature are offered as possible guidelines for measuring this strength. Data on commitment and its strength in the dimension of religious experience are considered for content and intensity respectively. Inferences are drawn for increasing the predictive ability of religious commitments and for studying extra-religious commitments
