The Personality Priorities Inventory for Adolescents was administered to a sample of 194 Caribbean adolescent students (80 boys and 114 girls) to measure their personality priorities. The subjects had a mean age of 15.6 yr. and were randomly selected from the Grade 10 population of high schools in Barbados. The rank order which emerged from the analysis indicated preference for Pleasing behaviors followed in order by Significance, Avoiding, and Detaching. Comparison between the sexes showed girls as being more inclined toward Pleasing, Significance, and Avoiding than boys.
