The Brown Modification of the Thouless Test of Religious Orthodoxy and three personality measures were administered to 82 students in introductory psychology. The Manifest Anxiety Scale, Manifest Hostility Scale, and a variation of the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory were utilized to determine a profile for individuals with orthodox religious beliefs. The correlation between the Thouless test and the Manifest Hostility Scale was significant in that highly orthodox individuals scored lower than other subjects on the Manifest Hostility Scale. There were significant but small correlations among the personality variables but no other trends were noted in relation to religious orthodoxy
