Personality Differences Between: Selected Counselors and Effective Teachers.

2 groups of 25 subjects each were measured with the Gordon Survey of later- personal Values (S.I.V.), the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration Study (P-F Study), and an Ideal Student Description Q-Sort (ISS). 7 variables of the P-F Study and the 6 scales of the S.I.V. were tested for significance by the t-test. Chisquare and product-moment correlation were used to analyze I.S.D. differences. Counselors and teachers showed significant differences beyond the .05 level of confidence on 5 of the 15 personality variables measured. Conclusions are: Counselors ave (a) less conforming in behavior than teachers, (b) less ego-defensive than teachers, (c) more benevolent than teachers, and (d) focus on sources of frustration more often than Teachers.
