This study provides a description of the personality profile for administrators and professional staff in a private correctional facility (n = 30). The 1980 Clinical Analysis Questionnaire of Krug and Cattell was selected for use in the study since it provides a well-validated measure of both normal and abnormal personality traits which have been identified in the course of forty years of carefully controlled research. Present findings showed healthy adjustment for the professionals employed within this agency.
