Abstract
The Personality Priorities Inventory for Adolescents was administered to a sample of 194 Caribbean adolescent students (80 boys and 114 girls) to measure their personality priorities. The subjects had a mean age of 15.6 years, and were randomly selected from the Grade 10 population of secondary schools in Barbados.
