Abstract
This report addressed the convergent validity of the RCQ provided by the Paragraph Completion Test, and discriminant validity information provided by the Talkaholic Scale. Eighty undergraduates enrolled in an introductory communication class at a large midwestern university completed three questionnaires. Correlations indicated that the RCQ and the Paragraph Completion Test were only slightly related ( r = .37, p < .0005). The RCQ and the Talkaholic scale were negligibly related. Weak relationships observed between construct differentiation and construct organization indicate the need for further research on factors that affect construct-differentiated people's ability to integrate social information.
