Abstract

Responses of 205 college women to the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire were correlated with responses to the Vocational Orientation of Women Questionnaire to determine whether measured personality traits would reliably predict identification with a career outside the home and/or the homemaker role. Multiple Rs of .30 for career and .44 for homemaker were obtained by 2 and 6 predictor variables, respectively. Women favoring the career role were more radical and imaginative. The young women favoring the homemaker role were more likely to be conservative, excitable, submissive, practical, conscientious, and uncontrolled.
