Summary T he purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between self‐ratings and peer ratings on a leadership behavior scale. A rating scale was constructed for the purpose of measuring small group leadership qualities. The rating scale yielded five scores, over‐all leadership and four diagnostic categories. Two orthogonal factors were extracted from each area of the leadership scale. One of the factors on each area was interpreted as a rating set factor. The second factor was interpreted as a general measure of each area. The peer ratings seemed to be a good measure of all areas of leadership. The self‐ratings were not shown to be a good measure of over‐all leadership, but they seemed to be an adequate measure of the diagnostic categories.
