Undergraduate art students were administered the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). Significant personality differences were found on the basis of sex and degree sought. Art students scored more sensitive, self-sufficient, imaginative, liberal, and forthright when compared with non-art college students.
The results in this study indicated that for a sample of 141 college students in a junior level course in education the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) was significantly related to the six Class I scales of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), which collectively have been interpretated as measures of poise, ascendancy, and self-assurance. The combination of scales best predicting scores on the RAS contained five of the six Class I scales of the CPI. This finding provided additional evidence of the validity of the RAS in assessing assertiveness and lent support to its use for identifying potential clients who might benefit from assertive training procedures.
