The samples were four hundred and fifty research participants selected by simple random sampling. The instrument was a five-point-rating scale questionnaire with IOC index between .67-1.00, .981 reliability index, value of r-range between .067 and .493 and t-values between 3.17 and 17.28. The data was collected by questionnaires from four hundred and fifty students from five Rajabhat universities. Analysis of content validity, item-objective congruence index, discrimination of power and exploratory factor analysis: (EFA) were employed for the study. Results were as follows: (1) The assessment instrument for creating honesty values was thirty items of a questionnaire. The items were selected from fifty items based on the standardized criteria. The values of IOC were between .67 and 1.00.
