Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the personality characteristics and demographic profiles of women in upper-level management positions and describe how they differed from men in upper-level management positions and women in middle-level management positions. The participants in the study consisted of 136 upper-level women, 775 upper-level men, 307 middle-level women, and 800 middle-level men who had participated in programs at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina from January, 1985 to September, 1989. A multivariate analysis of covariance was utilized initially, covarying age and time as manager with the personality characteristic data from the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B), and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)indices. Univariate analyses were then performed, after adjustment of means for age and time as manager, to determine differences between groups on the various personality indices. T-tests were performed to test for demographic differences and chi-square analyses determined discrete MBTI indices differences.
