Cole Dawson · Answer 1

It was developed to measure the extent to which an individual bases his or her own identity in the middle of a social group setting.

Explanation:

This test which is based on the true statements about oneself, is a self centralized test. It was placed in the chapter about social groups because one of the determinants of this test was that how one perceives themselves or thinks of true statements about themselves if they are in a social gathering or in a group of people. Would they still consider statements true or would they be effected by the presence of people?
