Abstract
CPI profiles of 25 “successful,” “fair,” and “unsuccessful” seminary candidates were analyzed. All “unsuccessful” candidates had been advised to cease their course of study and all “successful” candidates were ordained. Five scales (Cs, Sy, Sa, To and Fx) significantly differentiated between these groups. Higher standard scores were obtained by those rated “successful” on capacity for status, permissiveness, and flexibility. The results were discussed from the point of view of training the seminarian to work with the mentally ill.Keywords
