Abstract
A method of ratio scaling is described for treating comparative judgments of paired stimuli. A method of comparative judgment developed by Metfessel is employed. Formulas for scale values and the solution of a sample problem are provided. The method is designed to provide internal-consistency checks on the scale values. Experimental interpretations of equal-unit and ratio properties of measurement scales are inherent in the procedure.
