Abstract
31 men and 54 women responded to Bass' Famous Sayings test, the Social Interest Scale, and the Narcissism Personality Inventory. Women scored significantly higher on measures of Conventional Mores, Social Acquiescence, and Social Interest. Correlations of Bass' four scales were similar to those reported in earlier studies. Social interest correlated positively with Conventional Mores and negatively with Hostility for women, while Social Interest correlated negatively with Fear of Failure for men only.
