Abstract
Interviews were conducted with 172 adults to determine their social class level based on occupational prestige, income and education. They were also administered the circle test for future orientation. It was hypothesized that future dominance would be found more frequently for people in the upper class levels. The hypotheses were borne out at an acceptable level of significance, as measured by the chi squared test, for occupational prestige, and income, but not for education.Keywords
