| Abstract | How successfully a student responds to the stresses of college life depends on several factors, including the time of onset, the degree of perceived threat, and the student's repertoire of coping skills. This study was conducted to determine if personal adaptability or ego-strength in college students could be predicted from knowledge of performance on scales reflecting five different problem solving dimensions of the personality (developmental autonomy, locus of control, intellectual competence, problem solving ability with a verbal component, and problem solving ability with a nonverbal component). College students (N=339) completed the Autonomy Scale of the Student Developmental Task Inventory-2, the Intellectual Efficiency Scale of the California Psychological Inventory, the Ego-Strength scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, and the Mystery Codes subtest and the Four Letter Words subtest of an experimental form of the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test. The results of a step-wise regression analysis revealed that a measure of ego-strength could be predicted from knowledge of one's performance on other personality measures such as intellectual competence and locus of control.
