Convergent and Discriminant Validity of a Test of Sensitivity
Spitzform, Marianne; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 36, 2, 483-6, Sum 76

Data showed that sensitivity was not meaningfully described as a unified personality trait or the TOS doesn't adequately tap the trait. (Author/DEP)
