The object of the study was to administer the Edwards Personality Inventory to high school students for the purpose of enlarging empirical data on the personality structure of adolescents and to provide normative data for future use of the EPI. 274 students from the junior classes of 2 Seattle, Washington high schools were administered the EPI. Means and standard deviations for each scale were computed separately for males and females and comparisons were made between high school and college students. Correlations of EPI scales with grade point average, Differential Aptitude Test scores and socio-economic status were observed. Scholastic aptitude and SES were related to few of the scales while achievement was related to several. The use of these data as a reference point in the interpretation of test scores obtained by high school students was discussed
