The Change Seeker Index (CSI), an instrument for measuring “preference for stimulus complexity,” was administered to 277 college students. Correlations were computed for the CSI with college curriculum, parents' occupation, birth order and other demographic variables. Most correlations, with the exception of perceived political ideology, were zero-order; 3 other correlations reached statistical significance but were of questionable theoretical or practical significance. The finding of nonrelationship of the CSI with birth order was discussed in light of recent reports of significant relationships of birth order with other measures of stimulus-complexity preference.
