Abstract
Abstract Seventy-one amateur karate participants were studied with the Cattell sixteen personality factor questionnaire. Multiple discriminant analysis revealed no significant profile differences between the advanced (N=17), intermediate (N=25), or novice classifications (N=29). Since original criterion groups were formed on the basis of belt classification and length of participation, a hierarchial grouping analysis of the 71 personality profiles was performed as a means of eliciting alternate classification criteria. None were suggested. It was concluded that on the basis of the 16 PF test and the sample studied no profile components or patterns were found which differentiated between (a) levels of karate participation and proficiency, or (b) karate participants and the normal population.
