The present study was undertaken to investigate the significance of parent's educational level upon the personality makeup of subjects. CPI (1987) and MMPI (1944) were administered upon the sample (N=695). The factorial design of the study was 2x4 with 2 categories of Low-high scoring subjects on CPI subscales and the neurotic triad of MMPI and 4 parental educational categories: B.A./B.Sc. and above; middle­ intermediate, primary, and uneducated. The results showed a significant difference between the low and high scoring subjects on majority of subscales of CPI and the neurotic triad of MMPI for the four parents' educational categories.
