Several writers have suggested that female homosexuals have personality profiles that differ from those of female heterosexuals, but these profiles are not pathological in nature. This hypothesis was tested on 46 “normal” female homosexuals using the California Psychological Inventory, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. There was only a slight personality pattern difference between the groups and neither group showed a pathological personality patttern.

Personality profiles of education majors were compared using the California Psychological Inventory and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. Discriminant analyses indicated significant differences on selected scales for men ( n = 50) and women ( n = 112) and for those interested in elementary and secondary teaching. These findings are discussed in terms of their relevance to the future teaching activities of education majors.

Hospitalized male alcoholics were administered the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), the MMPI, and the Shipley-Hartford Intelligence scale. When Ss were divided into three age groups and three intelligence groups, it was found that both age and intelligence influence the personality pattern of alcoholics. In comparison with the normative group for the EPPS, alcoholics score lower in Aggression, Affiliation, Autonomy and Dominance but higher in Abasement and Change.

Psychological Inventory

66 female college students rated themselves and their peers on extraversion and filled out the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI). The group was dichotomized into Introverts and Extraverts on the basis of their self-ratings and their extraversion scores. Self-rated Introvert and Extravert criterion groups were significantly different from each other and from the total group on Extraversion score and Introvert and Extravert groups as determined by Extraversion score were significantly different from each other and from the total group on the basis of self-ratings, thus supporting the validity of the extraversion scale. Correlations of scores on the EPI and the CPI support the validity of the extraversion and neuroticism scales.

Psychological Inventory

The California Psychological Inventory and a Privacy Regulation Rating Scale were administered to 35 men and 40 women college students to estimate correlations between personality characteristics and attained privacy. The California Psychological Inventory measured 18 personality traits, and the rating scale assessed the amount of desired privacy actually achieved for six kinds of privacy: Reserve, Isolation, Solitude, Intimacy with Friends, Intimacy with Family, and Anonymity. Pearson product-moment correlations between the two sets of variables indicated distinct and meaningful personality profiles for people who were dissatisfied with their customary attainment of each kind of privacy. The profiles for men and women were dissimilar.

Behavior Disordered

Five teachers (judged to be effective teachers of behavior disordered children) were administered the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule and participated in an informal interview. A set of personality characteristics of effective teachers of the behavior disordered emerged. Such teachers tend to have a strong need for the following: dominance, intraception, affiliation, achievement, and succorance; and tend not to have a strong need for endurance, change, abasement, and aggression. Other important traits include a strong self-concept, a relationship orientation, a balance between introversion and extroversion, an ability to establish authority as a teacher (but not in an authoritarian manner), and patience.

Psychological Inventory

The generality and comprehensiveness of the five-factor model was tested using the California Psychological Inventory, with the Interpersonal Adjective Scales Revised—B5 and the NEO-Personality Inventory scales as markers for the five major personality factors. The three inventories were completed by 88 male and 99 female undergraduates. Results provided strong empirical evidence for the generality of four factors (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness, and Conscientiousness) but not for the comprehensiveness of the five-factor model.
