Two instructors of a single psychology course made similarity estimations of students who were enrolled in this course. This judgmental data was multidimensionally scaled using the Stone-Coles paradigm. Three judgmental dimensions were extracted: academic achievement, sex membership, and liberal-conservative attitudes and behaviors. A suggestion was made that multidimensional scaling may represent an approach to grading if grading is to be based solely on observations-evaluations of teachers.
