The association values of 300 CVC trigrams were determined for a prison inmate population. Test-retest reliabilities were satisfactory. Association values obtained in the present study were correlated with those previously obtained by Archer, Glaze, and Krueger. Over-all correlations were high, but those over three restricted ranges were rather low. It was concluded that the present association values for this prison population are not interchangeable with those available for other populations.
