The '''repertory grid''' is an interviewing technique which uses [[nonparametric]] [[factor analysis]] to determine an [[idiographic]] measure of personality.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bavelas |first1=Janet B. |last2=Chan |first2=Adrienne S. |last3=Guthrie |first3=Janice A. |date=January 1976 |title=Reliability and validity of traits measured by Kelly's repertory grid |journal=[[Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science]] |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=23–38 |doi=10.1037/h0081932 |quote=different scoring methods range from simply counting the number of matching rows or columns to what Kelly called his "nonparametric factor analysis" (which is not related to traditional factor analysis of correlational data). All of these measures have some basis in Kelly's published or unpublished discussions of Grid analysis, and most have been used arbitrarily and interchangeably in the literature.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Saúl |first1=Luis Angel |last2=López-González |first2=M.
