The perceptual measurement-individual attribute approach is employed in this investigation of the Charles F. Kettering, Ltd. School Climate Profile (CFK), an instrument which has been widely used to gather data for administrative planning and curriculum revision. Three samples of subjects were administered the CFK General Climate section: (a) 822 elementary and secondary school students and administrators; (b) 747 secondary school students, administrators, and teachers; and (c) 415 secondary school students, administrators, and teachers (257 of whom had been respondents in the second sample and were retested on the CFK). Factor analyses for two of the three data sets yielded a six-factor solution suggesting concerns related to the CFK's division into eight subscales. Possible explanations for inconsistencies in the factor structure were discussed.
