Should Personality Characteristics Be Considered in the Training and Selection of Administrators?

Coffman, Phillip H.

Journal of the College and University Personnel Association, 29, 3, 47-50, F 78

A study is reported that compares personality traits of higher education doctoral candidates with other doctoral programs and with normative populations. Personality characteristics are concluded to be important, and majors in higher education resemble more closely the desired characteristics of college administrators than those in the general population.
