Abstract
The Activity Vector Analysis was administered to 31 Ss under the instruction to select those words which they felt described the kind of person the President of the United States should be. A significant cluster which included 29 of the 31 Ss was noted. The personality profiles located within the cluster correlated, on the average, +.93 with the group centroid. They are generally descriptive of a person who is socially outgoing; who displays a genuine interest in people; who is enthusiastic, but diplomatic in his social contacts; who is mentally and physically alert; and who exercises good moral judgment.Keywords
