Practical Testing <strong>of</strong> Success Oriented <strong>and</strong> Failure Avoiding Behavior <strong>of</strong> Elementary<br />
School Students<br />
We tried to test the ratio <strong>of</strong> success seeking <strong>and</strong> failure avoiding personalities in this work<br />
examining elementary school students. We used a theoretical test <strong>and</strong> practical surveying. We<br />
borrowed the theoretical test from a book, which consists <strong>of</strong> similar questionnaires (Tóth<br />
László – Pszichológiai módszerek a tanulók megismeréséhez). The practical part consists <strong>of</strong> 3<br />
exercises goal kicking beam exercise <strong>and</strong> aiming a target with ball. We set up a pointing<br />
system <strong>and</strong> determined which kind <strong>of</strong> personality the child belongs to. We analyzed the<br />
results according to gender <strong>and</strong> whether or not the child sports, because these answered our<br />
questions <strong>and</strong> hypothesizes.<br />
Our first question was that how much are different or alike the success seeking <strong>and</strong> failure<br />
avoiding children in the two parts. The results were different in both persons <strong>and</strong> numbers, in<br />
every aspect <strong>and</strong> thus our hypothesis was right. We can explain it because the children do not<br />
know the limits <strong>of</strong> their abilities, <strong>and</strong> thus the theory <strong>and</strong> practice differs.<br />
The second question was about the difference between the genders. The boys seemed to be<br />
more success seeking <strong>and</strong> so our second hypothesis was restored too. We think it is possible<br />
because the boys are braver in this age <strong>and</strong> so they take grater risks than the girls.<br />
The examination <strong>of</strong> our third hypothesis brought the greatest specialty. Those who do sports<br />
are more success seeking. This statement was published many times. In the theoretical part it<br />
wasn‘t but in the practical part it was proved to be correct. We think that the explanation here<br />
is also that children don‘t know the limits <strong>of</strong> their abilities yet. We also think another<br />
explanation is that because not all children do sports for a long time, it couldn‘t have a great<br />
affect on their will to compete yet <strong>and</strong> thus they won‘t always be more success seeking than<br />
those who do not do sports.<br />
