S ummary . Teachers' ratings of the personality traits and attainments of their pupils were analysed according to the social class background of schools, age and experience of teachers, and teachers' opinions about education. Examination of the results of the principal components analyses and Varimax rotations showed that assessments were made on two main dimensions, but that the traits defining these dimensions differed according to the social class of the pupils, their sex, and the age and experience of the teachers. Assessments for girls were largely uniform across the different analyses, the first factor emphasising traits descriptive of good behaviour. For boys, however, there were considerable social class differences, both in the relative importance of factors and in the traits descriptive of the kind of pupil most worth taking trouble over. Teachers in middle class and mixed social class schools laid stress on traits descriptive of the pleasant and trustworthy pupil whilst those in urban and suburban working class schools showed particular concern for the pupils' attainments and attitudes to school. Assessments by older and more experienced teachers emphasised attainment and attitudes to work whilst those of younger teachers were primarily concerned with the good behaviour of pupils
