One hundred eighty adult homeless men and women who were housed in a temporary shelter were administered measures of self-efficacy, interpersonal competence, and social desirability. The goals were to obtain descriptive personality data for this growing subpopulation and to determine whether personality variables were related to selected demographic variables. The findings showed that this sample of homeless people regarded themselves as generally quite capable of meeting life's demands and as possessing considerable social competence. Unexpectedly, age and length of time spent homeless were not found to be related to self-efficacy, interpersonal competence, or current time spent unemployed.
