Abstract
A sample of 527 first-year 4-H leaders in New York State responded to questions which were used in determining their scores on 16 personality factors. Male and female first-year leaders were compared to males and females in the general population. Male leaders were also compared with female leaders. The possible influences on personality scores of 1) place of residence and 2) agreement between agent and leader on the tasks leaders should perform were examined. Those who scored at the extreme ends on personality factors were studied separately to see of they were more or less likely than the average leader studied to continue in 4-H. Differences were discovered that deserve the attention of professionals working with volunteer leaders.
