Personality profiles of education majors were compared using the California Psychological Inventory and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule.

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.

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.

This study examined the personality characteristics of physical education and recreation majors, and ascertained why some students choose one over the other. Forty-nine physical education and recreation majors were administered Holland's Self-directed Search. A 2 × 3 fixed-factorial design was employed, sex and major plus a control group were independent variables. Both 24 recreation and 25 physical education majors were alike in the personality profiles and were very similar to recreation and physical education professionals already in the field. Significant differences were found on secondary, less dominant characteristics which may contribute to selection of a specialization area.

From a population of 150 executives employed by a medium-sized utilities company, 30 highly successful and 30 less successful executives were selected on the basis of (1) salary level, (2) company job title, (3) job number as listed in the Hayes salary survey, and (4) appraisal performance ratings. Age and length of service were controlled. The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, the California Psychological Inventory, and a 179-item biographical information blank were administered to all 60 Ss. Five of the 15 scales on the EPPS and 10 of the 18 scales on the CPI significantly discriminated successful and less successful executives. A total of 110 of the 179 BIB items had one or more options that significantly differentiated the two executive groups.

This study assessed 87 maritally violent men (MV), 42 maritally nonviolent, maritally discordant men (NVD), and 48 maritally nonviolent, maritally satisfied men (NVS) on the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), a test of the normal personality. A MANOVA and subsequent range tests indicated that the NVD and NVS groups had significantly higher scores than the MV group on 10 of the 18 subscales: Responsibility, Socialization, Self-Control, Tolerance, Achievement via Conformance, Achievement via Independence, Good Impression, Intellectual Efficiency, and Psychological Mindedness. A discriminant analysis contrasting the MV group with the combined NVD and NVS group correctly classified 68% of the subjects and accounted for 20.94% of the variance between groups. Along with previous findings, the data indicated that maritally violent males exhibit different personality characteristics than maritally nonviolent men in three general areas: intimacy, impulsivity, and problemsolving skills. Many of these problem areas were significantly correlated with childhood violence experiences.

Personality characteristics as predictors for managers' readiness to change. The purpose of this study was to establish the degree to which change readiness can be predicted by certain personality dimensions. A sample of 115 managers took part in the study. As a result of the multi- dimensional nature of the construct readiness for change, the prediction was administered through a canonical correlation. In this instance change readiness (criteria) was presented in the form of three separate measurements i.e. California Psychological Inventory (CPI), Reaction To Change Inventory (RTC) and the Perceptions of Organisational Change Inventory (POQ The scales of the Jung Personality Questionnaire JPQ) and a Locus of Control Inventory served as predictors in the study. The results of the study indicates that it is indeed possible to predict change readiness on the basis of personality analysis. Opsomming Die doel van die studie was om vas te stel of bestuurders se ontvanklikheid vir verandering voorspel kan word aan die hand van persoonlikheidstrekke. 'n Steekproef van 115 bestuurders het aan die ondersoek deelgeneem. Op grond van die multi-dimensionele karakter van die konstruk gereedheid vir verandering, is die voorspelbaarheid van ontvanklikheid vir verandering geanaliseer aan die hand van 'n kanoniese korrelasie waar meer as een afhanklike veranderlike meting (kriterium) by die studie ingesluit is, te wete die ontvanklikheid vir verandering soos gemeet deur die Kaliforniese Psigologiese Inventaris (KPI), die Reaksie op Verandering Skaal (ROV) en die Persepsie Van OrganisasieVerandering Skaal (POV). Die skale van die Jung Persoonlikheidsvraelys (JPV) en 'n Lokus van Beheer- vraelys het gedien as voorspellers in die studie. Die resultate dui aan dat ontvanklikheid vir verandering wel voorspel kan word aan die hand van persoonlikheidsanalises.
