S ummary . Thirty‐five members of staff of the mixed secondary modern school completed the 16 P.F. Test and these scores were compared with those of teaching ability as rated by the head teacher. It appeared that the best teachers differed from the rest on factors A –, B+, E+, L –, M+, Q1 – and Q3 –. As teaching ability was linked with sex, correlations partialling out sex indicated that factors L – and M + were significantly (.05) correlated with rated teaching ability and that H+ marginally failed to reach this level of significance.
