The purpose of this study was to examine the pre-college leadership skills of first-year
students and examine differences by gender on eight distinct scales. The Student
Leadership Outcomes Inventory defined these eight scales. A total of 296 participants
were chosen to participate in the study from a population of all first-year students at a
public university in Jordan. Participants reported moderate levels of leadership skills on
all eight scales. However, differences by gender were found on the technology scale of
the instrument. Overall, it would seem that students matriculate with some intact
leadership skills. Administrators might use this baseline skill level when designing
leadership development opportunities for students.
