ences in two similar male college
groups of Jews and non-Jews in
Dictated the non-Jews to be more
religious-minded and the Jews to
be more liberal-minded. Also the
Jews seemed to be somewhat
more extroverted and ascendant.
Other than that both groups were
similar in IL other personality
traits tested.
There have been other studies
surprisingly few-which indicate
that the similarity between the
Jewish and non-Jewish students
in the City College group are very
much like those at Harvard, Min
nesota, and other universities
where tests have been conducted.
But we still have too little con-
crete information. Before we dis
cuss the why's and wherefore's of
the differences and similarities-
an exercise in which we have been
engaged for centuries-let us first
extend our objective analysis to
other groups in the population,
and gather the facts for male and
female, young and old, profess
sional and business, white-collar
and laboring, and rich and poor
groups. Only then can we know
specifically what we're talking a.
bout when the perennial question,
Are we different %, comes UP.
And then, it is my conviction on
the basis of an objective study,
the answer will be, I'VE are not
as different as we have been made
out to be-"

and OF Jews as a group.
In these expressions of opinion,
consciously or unconsciously, Jews
were being compared to other
racial groups. Often the compar-
isons were acknowledged. Only a
year ago in the Saturday Evening
Post, three Jewish intellectuals
engaged in three-cornered forum
of journalistic discourse on the
subject of personality and status
of the Jew. Each, in his own way,
tried to convince the reader why
the Jew was or was not different
from his fellow non-Jews.
AS proof of their contentious
they used the scriptures, historical
events, biographies of the great,
utterances of scholars, and corner
drug store arguments. They and
other writer's in their diatribes
make contentious which are many
and varied, such as: The Jews
are different; Jews are similar;
"Jews have traits, responses,
qualities of mind and heart and
habit; rates of nerve reaction and
attitudes that are different; Jews
are overambitious, restless, intel
ligent, moral, avid, patriotic, I'M
patriotic, radical, arrogant, SER
vile, introverted, extroverted, emo
tional, clannish, philanthropic, un-
religious, maladjusted, and adjust
ed.
With all this confusion and
variances in belief it is surprising
that so few writer's on the subject
make reference to or attempt to
obtain any objective data in sup
port of their arguments. Hence
the investigation that will be de-
scribed in this article may be IL

being a savant on the Jewish tenn

the contrary, his attitude has

and 1870 born in the United
States. The economic status of
the parents of both groups COM
pared favorably. The Jewish
group was shown to be education

quarters of year over the no.
Jewish group. The intelligence
test results showed the Jewish
group to have a somewhat higher
score.
The comparisons on the per-
sonality trait scores were made by
a standard and valid statistical
method In popular terms these
are the results:
1. In personality adjustment
(Which includes emotionality, self
confidence, social acceptability and
family relationships none of the
differences between the groups
was big enough to talk about. In
other words, the scores for both
groups were very much alike.
2. The Jewish group was shown
to be more extroverted and more
aggressive than the non-Jewish
group. But their scores were
such as to indicate a healthy de-
gree of extroversion and ascend
ance, from a mental hygiene point
of view.
3. In the matter of general
attitude las between a conserva-
tive and liberal viewpoint), while
both groups may be described as
liberal, the Jewish group had a
definitely higher score in the di-
rection of liberalism.
4. With reference to relative
interests or motivational drives,
the Jewish group was indicated to
have a slightly higher scientific
interest and somewhat stronger
social interest in people. The nom
Jewish group was shown to have
a definitely greater interest in re-
ligious matters. The scores of
both groups showed the non-Jew-
ish group to be close to the aver
age college students in general,
while the Jewish group was dis
tinctly below average in their
scores on religious interest. In
the remaining items of desire for
power, economic and aesthetic in
terests, both groups We're similar
with average scores.
In short, the above results of a
comparison between trait differ

Judge. Are the Jews different or
aren't they? Let us investigate
by some objective and unbiased
method. The opportunity for this
investigation was a by-product of
the data used for a doctoral dis
sertation.
The subject Of the original dis
sertation was 1.-THE Relationship
Between Personality Adjustment
and Athletic Achievement" The
individuals used in the study were
435 students at the City College
of New York. In order to deter
mine the personality traits and
characteristics of these students,
they were tested by use of stand
ardized objective questionnaires.
Scores were determined for all the
students on 16 traits.
To obtain the data which make
the basis of this article, total o,
80 non-Jewish students and tht
same number of Jewish boys who
had been previously tested for the
dissertation were selected at ran
dom. Their records and views
were then examined and compar-
ed.
The records gave personal infor-
nation regarding each students
age, religion, fathers occupation
nationality of parents, class in
college, and intelligence test score
on entering college. In addition
to this, there were the results of
the group of personality trait
tests that gave scores for the fol-
lowing list of characteristics:
/. General Personality Adjust
ment
a. Work efficiency
By Feelings of self-confidence
or lack of self-confidence
g. Social acceptability and ad-
justment
d. Emotional stability with
reference to neurotic symptoms,
adjustment to new experiences,
and general sex adjustment.
e) Objectivity toward behavior
of others.
f. Family attitudes and rela-
tionships
2. Introversion or Extroversion
3. Feelings of Ascendance lag

4. Conservatism or Liberalism
S. Relative interest drives or

Aesthetic motivations and in
terests
Religious drives and interests
A tabulation of the general in
formation obtained from the rec
ords disclosed the following
facts*: Of the 80 non-Jews, 55
were Catholic, % Protestant, and
3 from other religions. The par
entail nationality of the Jewish
group was mainly from the East

States. The parental nationality
of the non-Jews was more widely
spread, with a large percentage
from Austria-Hungary and Italy!

time that the conference was closed.
and the delegates had been quite
congenially received.
OrEaniIational Setup
The organizational setup OF the
conference was not perhaps what 1t
might have been, but the guidance
was excellent. Plans for the con-
ference had been made for the past
year. Social problems were Of great
interest TO the participants. 1t
seems. generally speaking. the
knowledge about politics Of Latin
America youth far surpasses that
OF North Americans. On the other
hand. their organizational knowl-
edge and experience seems to be
|. below par.
Some OF the problems discussed
were: rights of women in Mex %
and Latin American Countries
where she is held 10 belong in the
home almost exclusively and does
not enjoy suffrage rights; special
laws for women under Is years OF
age were sought 10 govern those
women's conditions who do work.
The creation Of professional schools
! for women was necessary. Other
subjects included the independence
OF Porto Rico. the exploitation OF
Bolivia-the conference resolved
that the report OF Lombardo To-
landona. outstanding labor leader,
should be used instead Of the gen
civilizations Of Brazil and ot4er i'm
perialist states.
Il was further resolved that rela-
tons should be broken with the
Franco government in Spain and
ways in which American youths
can help were suggested
Cd Cur,ail exports TO Spain: tD
open door TO refugees from various
countries: 80 apply the Atlantic

/ the conference should support the
proposals OF The World Youth Com
mittee and that Combinations
Committee be set up. This was
done.

posed Of Betty Dvorman, Wayne

cil: Julia Oliver. Negro Youth

All the Negro delegates were
very highly received throughout
their sojourn in Mexico an d
each contributed an important part
10 the conference. A great deal OF
interest was evinced in the racial
conditions in America and Detroit
particularly, as there is no race

tons. A complete report Of the
