Abstract
84 graduate students attending the Seventh‐day Adventist Seminary for North America Q‐sorted 50 self‐relevant, socially neutral statements to measure self‐concept and occupational role percept of the “ideal” Seventh‐day Adventist minister. Correlations were computed for congruence between self‐percepts and occupational role percepts, as an operational approximation to the construct “vocational satisfaction.” Mean correlations in extreme quartiles of the resultant distribution differed beyond .001; subjects in extreme quartiles were accordingly regarded as “more” or “less” vocationally satisfied. Significant differences were found between more‐ and less‐satisfied subjects on 3 of 16 personality factors (adventuresomeness, shrewdness, ergic tension); on 1 of 6 values (social); on 1 of 10 vocational interests (social service); and on 2 of 15 elements of educational‐social history (extent of previous church‐conducted education, vocational preference during high school).
