This article investigates relationships between verbal and non-verbal equivalents of Bannister’s intensity and consistency. It recalls a variant of a grid technique that enables one to construct parallel verbal and non-verbal versions. The obtained non-verbal measures indicate lower tightness than verbal measures. Both types of measures correlate significantly with each other. This convergence of verbal and non-verbal construing is interpreted in accordance with the so called ‘generality hypothesis.’ An analysis of relationships between verbal intensity and verbal consistency shows their nonlinear relationships. The current results are compared with previous findings and the question of validity of the measures is discussed.
