A comparative analysis of personality characteristics of industrial arts teachers in the United States

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of selected demographic variables and personality variables to industrial arts teaching. The groups under investigation were: the national group (A) of 156 American Industrial Arts Association teacher of the year recipients and the national group (B) of 163 randomly selected industrial arts teachers. The personality variables were those variables as measured by Jackson's (1974) Personality Research Form (PRF).
