Personality characteristics of counseling students at a Midwest Evangelical seminary as correlates of success, satisfaction, and self-perceived effectiveness
by Marlett, Keith Edward, Ph.D., LIBERTY UNIVERSITY, 2008, 135 pages; 3331289

Abstract:

This study examined the question of how well personality traits as assessed by the MMPI-2 (clinical and L, F, K validity scales) and the NEO PI-R (domain scales) predict useful post-graduation markers of success in Master's level counselor education students. The subjects were 74 graduates of a seminary counselor education program in the Midwest. Participants completed the MMPI-2 (first 370 questions) and the NEO PI-R prior to admission and a post-graduation self-report questionnaire. Significant correlation between several personality traits and post-graduation markers of success emerged, but after Bonferroni adjustment, did not retain statistical significance and are therefore noted as trends (p=.05-.003). A correlation between scale 0 of the MMPI-2 and the work gratification item of the questionnaire retained statistical significance (p=.001).
