The purity of intrinsic states of nuclei with respect to a proton-neutron boson symmetry ({ital F} spin) is shown to be largely determined by the difference between proton and neutron deformations and not by whether the Hamiltonian is an {ital F}-spin scalar. Upper and lower bounds on {ital F}-spin mixing in the ground-state band of {sup 165}Ho are estimated using recent pion single-charge-exchange data.
