There are several versions of this procedure. The only one of them with
which I have had any direct experience is Fay Fransella's 'bipolar
implication grid' technique. This is explained clearly, together with
relevant reliability and validity data, in the following paper by Donna
McDonagh:
McDonagh, D.(1987). The implication potential of personal constructs in
relation to their subjective importance and order of elicitation. Social
Behavior and Personality, 15, 81-86.
This study was a thesis project conducted in my Lab under my direct supervision.
