label: Description
content: In 1931, Stanford University Press published Willoughby’s Scale of Emotional Maturity. This is an unmarked example of that test, as well as directions for giving and scoring it. Willoughby defined emotional maturity to be “freedom from egotistic or other infantile attachments.” The test lists sixty possible characteristic reactions of subjects. The person doing the evaluation or rater, who could be an acquaintance of the subject or the actual subject, was asked to check off those reactions the subject showed. Items checked were assigned a numerical value, the values ranged from 1 to 8. These values were averaged and multiplied by 10 to give the score.
