A method for the objective measurement of the conscious aspects of body image is described with data on reliability and validity. Essentially it involved photographing subjects and scanning the photograph with a video‐camera. The subject adjusts a control which varies the images on the television monitor to give a representative continuum from endomorphy through mesomorphy to ectomorphy without distorting height. A permanent record of the accuracy of the judgement and of the judgement time is registered on a pen recorder as impulses from the control are relayed when the subject adjusts the control dial. Test‐retest reliability and validity are discussed using control and clinical subjects
