Leadership potential was studied as a function of the sex of the rater and/or ratee. Data collected on a sample of ten female and 30 male Army officers included peer ratings, self‐ratings, and achievement and attitude measures. Males and females evaluated female peers significantly lower than male peers on leadership potential. Also, females evaluated themselves lower on self‐ratings of leadership potential, as well as scoring lower on some achievement and attitude measures.
