Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to assess the traits relevant to performance among restaurant workers. Consistent with past 16PF validation efforts, the analytic objectives were (a) to present a profile of 16PF mean scores and determine whether those means differed significantly from the general population, (b) to compare a new sample of cooks against a profile of means for restaurant cooks collected on an earlier occasion (Cattell et al., 1970), and (C) to assess the correlations between trait scores and ratings of work performance.
