HIS paper has both a methodological T and a substantive aim. The first of these is to illustrate an application of William Stephenson's Q-methodology to a type of problem commonly encountered in sociological theory.' The second purpose is to examine some of the major American writings on stratification in this country published since World War 1.2 These two purposes, while interrelated, are also independent. That is, if the theory selected for testing is trivial, uninteresting or confused, the outcome will be of little utility. Furthermore, even though the theory be an interesting and useful one, if it is not sensibly applied, the findings would also be unclear. Regardless, then, of the particular substantive outcome of this analysis, it is believed that the Q-methodology is a potentially powerful tool for sociological research
