It identified the three areas of the measurement. Then, the items are formed according to the needs identified by Maslow for each area. The sample of statistical analysis which was adopted by the researcher in the extraction of psychometric properties was (200) students. The discriminant force of the measurement was extracted by using the method of the extreme groups. Honesty has also been extracted in several ways (the truthfulness of the content; both apparent and logical honesty as well as constructive honesty). Stability was calculated according to the internal consistency method using the retest and Alpha Cronbach’s methods of internal consistency.
