Compares two methods for evaluating persons in G analysis. The first method is based on an orthogonal system of rotation while the second utilizes a simple G co-relationship, which can be regarded as the same as an oblique system. A mathematical rationale for the equivalent accuracies of the two techniques is offered. In addition, an empirical demonstration, using clinical data, is shown to give re sults consistent with the analytical model.
