Abstract Total social position is composed of both prestige and esteem values. Occupation, though not totally satisfactory, is often a usable index in the study of stratification. Because anomalies exist among the various forms of occupational rewards, the construction of a prestigue score was undertaken. Scale analysis of the findings reveals the probable need for two-dimensional classification of occupation-the vertical or status dimension and the horizontal, or situs, dimension-in achieving a possible refinement for stratification studies.
