Results showed that Retail applicants tended to score significantly higher on Orderliness, Intraception, and Dominance scales and lower on the Heterosexuality scale than Retail salesmen.

“…Also, Furnham (1990) and Kroger and Turnbull (1975) have suggested that respondents' faking of personality profiles may reflect their stereotypes of members of the target occupation.
