Abstract
While caution is necessary because of the limitations of our sample, certain suggestions emerge from this study. Firstly, when students are classified by indices such as sex, social class, school and University faculty there may be measurable personality differences related to these groupings. Secondly, there are likely to be complex interactions between these indices. Thus, for example, school may be related both to social class and to choice of faculty. Thirdly, research along socio-cultural lines is necessary to further the understanding of student success and failure, complementing, as it must do, psychological research on intellectual, emotional and motivational factors.Keywords
