To test the hypothesis that ministers' family milieu fosters mixed masculine-feminine traits, a 10-yr. follow-up study was conducted where seminarians were retested with the California Psychological Inventory. Among the seminarians, 28 were ordained and 6 were not. Support was obtained for the hypothesis. Grade point averages were significantly higher among the ordained. This study is restricted to Catholic seminarians; making a good impression became important after ordination, not before; three scales which were significant among Protestant seminarians in previous research were not found in this study, suggesting dissimilarity among denominations
