Abstract
Using Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Test the personality profiles of psychology, art, and science majors at Wellesley College were compared among themselves and with an older group of successful female psychologists. A discriminant function analysis yielded significant similarities and differences between the psychology, art, and science major groups.Keywords
