The development of greater numbers of more competent managers, and their successful management of human resources, has been made urgently necessary for business, industry and government by technological, economic, social and world‐wide change.

2 groups of students in an officer candidate school (N = 880) are compared to determine their differences in behavioral styles The instrument used is the Job Analysis and Interest Measurement. There is a difference at the .01 level of significance in the mean scores between entering (N = 561) and graduating (N = 319) students in 4 prechosen behavioral dimensions. Entering students compared with graduating students place a higher value on approval from others In the 3 other scales considered, the mean graduating students' scores are higher than the entering students' scores. This indicates that graduating students as compared with entering students tend to be more selfassertive, are more likely to be persuasive leaders, and are more prone to like supervisory activities.
