PERSONALITY TRAITS OF TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS ARE EXAMINED FOR THEIR EFFECTS UPON TEACHER-ADMINISTRATOR RELATIONSHIPS. THE EDWARDS PERSONAL PREFERENCE SCHEDULE, THE NATIONAL PRINCIPALSHIP STUDY, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE PREFERENCE FORM WERE ADMINISTERED TO TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS FROM AN URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MICHIGAN. RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE NEED PATTERNS OF TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS ARE QUITE SIMILAR. FURTHERMORE, THE NEED PATTERNS OF MALE ELEMENTARY TEACHERS, SECONDARY TEACHERS, AND PRINCIPALS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THEIR FEMALE COUNTERPARTS. THE SAME DATA INDICATED THE INVALIDITY OF THE THEORY OF COMPLEMENTARY NEEDS. (HM)
