Abstract: The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate the personality and value characteristics of successful high school band directors in North Carolina, and (2) to determine whether successful high school band directors differ from a random sampling of high school band directors in tests of personality, cultural values, and administrative practices. Collection of data was by use of three testing instruments: the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey, the Study of Values, and a questionnaire designed to gather information relating to administrative practices of respondents. Two groups participated in the study. Group I contained successful high school band directors chosen by a jury of selectors. Selection of Group II members was at random from a list of North Carolina high school band directors published by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The degree of success of Group II members was unknown.
