The 412 personality characteristics from which Bem (1974) derived her Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) were rated for social desirability by 84 students of James Cook University of North Queensland. This paper focuses on analyses of the 60 items of the BSRI. Although results confirmed, on the whole, the discriminative powers of the BSRI, the data suggest that some items are inapplicable in Australia, and that others of Bem's original 412 characteristics would prove more powerful items in an Australian Sex Role Inventory
