Thirty-two male Ss were tested by a male E and 30 males were tested by a female E on the IES Test. The hypothesis was that the male examiner would obtain significantly higher impulse scores and significantly lower superego scores on the IES subtests than would the female. The hypothesis was not supported. The normative value of the data was discussed. Comparisons were made between the subtest scores obtained by the male Ss in this study and those of female Ss in a previous investigation.
