The MMPI Profiles of 149 male marriage counselors were analyzed for mean of scales, standard deviations, variances, and for high and low point characteristics. Of these, 139 were judged by the writer as to ability to perform as marriage counselors: differences in profiles were found. It was also hypothesized that there would be manifest differences in the MMPI profile characteristics of those going into marriage counseling from the Protestant ministry and those from other professions. The hypothesis was upheld. Symbolic interaction theory is the framework within which this research was done. A review of literature, a discussion of theory, and this research suggest that this type of study is needed and should be helpful to marriage counseling training centers in their selection of persons for training
