The present investigation was undertaken to study one of the sixteen traits of personality i.e. factor C proposed by cattle of male and female students of undergraduate and postgraduate students of management studies. 120 students (60 male and 60 from female) were selected randomly from various management institutions of Indore. After selection of the elements of the sample, 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire developed by Cattell was administered on them.
