S ummary . An attempt was made to relate the Self‐Concept to the whole personality structure and to indicate the significance of the relationship for psychological guidance of adolescents. A large number of Self‐Concept, counselling and adjustment, intellectual, personality, perceptual, social and environmental tests covering 130 variables were given to a group of 170 adolescents. Cluster analysis (which was confirmed by factor analysis) revealed a main cluster of five variables on the basis of which the sample was divided into three, a Positive Self‐Concept group, a Negative Self‐Concept group and a middle group which was labelled ‘Normal Control.’ Analysis showed these three groups to be differentiated by a large number of variables. There were also sex differences and differences between extreme groups within each sex.
