Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the paper is to find the most effective method for the selection and analysis of a set of diagnostic variables for indirect consumption research with the use of synthetic consumption measures. The analysis of potential sets of variables in the process of the assessment of living standard in different voivodeships was carried out using various methods. Special emphasis was put on the fact that within the area of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Warsaw ought to be analyzed separately. This way of caring out analysis can cause asymmetry in empirical distribution of diagnostic variables, which requires the implementation of adequate methods that would eliminate imperfections of analyses at the stage of the final selection of a set of diagnostic variables.
