Summary U sing a forced‐choice adjective check list, a scale measuring maturity of self‐perception was developed. Contrary to expectation, a positive relationship between maturity and success in managerial positions was not found. Rather those individuals whose self‐perceptions were like those of their own age were most likely to be successful managers and to achieve higher management positions.
