The Rep Test is used at times like an interview. Some significant information is obtained through this assessment that tells us a little more about Jim. However at times individuals may make generalization based on information without digging further into the report. Here are some other noted weaknesses of Kelly’s theories
-Relies excessively on words which can be inadequate to convey constructs because of things like submersion
-Process theory is not well specified: How do people select which construct to apply in a situation?
-Motivation theory not well specified: Why do people select a particular construction and act in certain
ways based on that construction?
-Has not been applied to some parts of human functioning e.g. depression.
-Doesn’t address human emotions adequately
-Link between constructs and behavior not well studied
