Abstract
A scale for personality rigidity (Ri) was studied for its linear relations to other psychological scales and tests. There is a tendency for high scorers on Ri to be socially introverted and lacking in social presence, submissive and low in leadership qualities, anxious and self-disparaging, and unoriginal and relatively deficient in cognitive and motivational factors associated with intellectual competence and achievement. There were indications of a positive association between Ri and prejudice.Keywords
