Abstract
Two hundred and eighty-two male students and 264 male craftsmen were asked to complete the EPQ and the I 5 Impulsiveness Questionnaire. Results showed students scored lower on P, E and Imp but higher on Emp than craftsmen. Intercorrelations, reliabilities, means and standard deviations of all seven personality scales are given, these being good replications of values in earlier studies. Although there are difficulties in equating the student and craftsmen samples with social-class classifications, it is inferred that the students are progressing towards occupations of higher social class than the craftsmen, and that on average the present social class of the students (as defined in general by their fathers' occupations) is higher than the present social class of the craftsmen (again, as defined in general by their fathers' occupations). Thus, the lower-class members were found to score higher on P, E and Imp, and lower on Emp than the higher-class members.
