The method employed for the selection of the student leaders who were to serve as subject of the study was sociometric in nature. The girls accepted as leaders by both teachers and students were included in the study. The number of leaders thus selected were 40. The Edwards personal preference schedule was administered to the subjects. After scoring the test, the mean and the standard deviation of each of the fifteen variables of the EPPS were computed to get the general pattern of the leader's personality needs. To get a comprehensive and relatively reliable indicator of academic performance, the grades obtained by the subjects over a period of six semesters were considered in the determination of the grade-point average (GPA). The Pearson product-moment method was used to determine the standard coefficient of correlation between the 15 EPPS variables and the GPAs. The resulting correlation coefficients were tested for their statistical significance by a two-tail test. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that there was no significant correlation between personality needs and academic achievement in this group of Filipina leaders except for the need for change. 1967-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_masteral/167 Master's Theses English Animo Repository Personality and academic achievement Educational leadership Women college students--Psychology Educational Leadership
