ABSTRACT
Since the instruments for measuring most of the current leadership models have never been reconciled, it is important that the relationships between them be clearly understood before assumptions of similarity are made. A sample of 103 male working students were given a battery of tests measuring leadership orientations. The tests included role preference and role pressure measures from Sweney's Response to Power Model, the California F Scale, Fiedler's Least Preferred Co-Worker Scale and Assumed Similarity Between Opposites Scale, Costley and Downey's six scales to measure McGregor's "Theory X" and "Theory Y" constructs, modified scales for the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid, and relevant scales from the 16 PF. The results were intercorrelated and yielded 11 varimax factors based upon a Guttman criterion, as follows: Authoritarian Role Preferance, Authoritarian Role Pressure, Equalitarian Role Preferance, Equalitarian Role Pressure, Balanced Manager, People Oriented Manager, Assumed Similarity Between Opposites, Contemptuous Indulgence, Supportive Values, People Tolerance, and Organizational Tolerance. The instruments measuring authoritarianism loaded the first factor in the right direction, but most of them had their primary loadings elsewhere, suggesting greater conceptual complexity to this area than previously recognized.

Interest strength in 36 attitudes was measured on 89 public school students by means of four indirect behavioral tests. Standard scores on Word Association and Information were combined to give the Integrated (conscious) scores, and those on Selective Memory and Autism were combined to give the Unintegrated (unconscious) scores. Eighteen hypothesized drive factors and four device factors were extracted. The centroid was partitioned, and the Unintegrated portion was rotated by Procrustes for pure drive factors. This portion was projected upon the Integrated realm by reassembling the centroid matrix, and rotating the whole to the Procrustes position obtained for the part. Overall results appeared to support the "structural" rather than the "topographic" approaches t o psychoanalytic theory.
