"5 
only one who wants it." are indeed unusual. Similarly, "It 
recognizes and likes me." is unusual in that it is the only 
criterion that requires the owned object to be animate. The 
items identified as poorly worded were deemed to represent 
unusual claims rather than unclear claims. As a result of 
this pilot, only the example expression of Identity was 
modified to read, "It is part of me." 
The scaling responses were standardized for each 
subject in both tasks. For the task of judging individual 
criteria on a 9 point scale, the criteria were rank ordered 
from most valued to least valued on the basis of mean 
standardized judgements. For the dominance scaling task, a 
dominance coefficient was calculated, representing the 
dominance, both positive and negative, of each criterion 
against each of the others. The range of the dominance 
coefficient was +5 to -5, with 0 having a neutral value. 
Criteria were rank ordered on the basis of this dominance 
coefficients. The correlation of the two rank orderings was 
r = .86 (p < .0l). The criteria, rank ordered by both 
judgement schemes, were as follows:
