Previous research has found accountants to possess the distinctive Type A personality, which may not be as prevalent in minority populations as it is in the Euro-American populations. This article reports on the results ofa survey of a sample of 860 Euro-American and 119 Hispanic certified public accountants. It assesses potential differences in personality, job satisfaction, and turnover intention by ethnicity, occupational setting, and level of decision-making authority. Analyses of the data found that ethnicity was not associated with any of the independent variables. However, personality was found to be significantly associated with occupational setting and level of decision-making authority. Job satisfaction, was not found to be associated with occupational setting but was associated with level of decision-making authority. Finally, turnover intention was not found to be associated with occupational setting but was found to be associated with level of decision-making authority.
