The use of multidimensional scaling applied to persons, in groups, as stimuli was historically traced. 18 investigations which employed the Stone-Coles paradigm for multidimensional scaling of judgments pertaining to such kinds of stimuli were described. The apparent initial success of this type of methodology in the sphere of clinical-social psychological research appears to justify further use.
