Abstract
This study investigated 13 predictors of self-reported high school leadership. The study utilized the Project TALENT national sample of high school students. Two leadership criteria were studied. The internal consistency of the criteria ranged from .48 to .67. Multiple correlations between the observed and predicted leadership scores for regression analyses ranged from .45 to .63. Cross validities ranged from .32 to .58. The leadership characteristics of males and females were found to be similar. Results of this study characterize the high school leader as mature, interested in business management, self-confident, socially sensitive, vigorous, and having high socioeconomic status. Cognitive variables were not found to be significant predictors of either leadership criterion.
