In Study I, scores for 35 female graduate students in physical education were compared to the norms for the general population on the 1962 16 PF test; Ss were higher on Intelligence and lower on Outgoingness and Shrewdness. Centiles derived from the raw scores deviated markedly also on these traits. In Study II, scores of 35 similar Ss were compared to the norms for the 1970 16 PF test; Ss were higher on Intelligence and Ego Strength and lower on Outgoingness and Tender-mindedness. Centiles deviated markedly on Intelligence and Ego Strength.
