A description of Akron sponsorship and the defects uncovered in the moral inventory is in the story of Earle T. published in the 2nd and 3rd editions of the Big Book:

"Dr.Bob led me through all of these steps. At the moral inventory, he brought up some of my bad personality traits or character defects such as selfishness, conceit, jealousy, carelessness, intolerance, ill temper, sarcasm, and resentments. We went over these at great length and then he finally asked me if I wanted these defects of character removed."
