Comparison of external and internal individuals' ability to perceive viewpoints of others

College undergraduates scoring as internal (6 male and 42 female) and external (14 male and 41 female) on locus of control on Rotter's I-E scale were administered a modified version of Laurendeau and Pinard's Coordination of Perspectives Test. Internals were superior to externals in ability to perceive the viewpoints of others in regard to object arrangements.
