The Sixteen Personality Factors Questionnaire, Gordon Personal Profile and Gordon Personal Inventory were administered to 151 male and female high school students. Multiple regression analyses indicated that it was possible to predict all of the personality scores of each test from the other at better than the .001 level of significance. However, prediction was better from the 16PF to the Gordon tests. Consideration was given to the practical implications of the results.
