The Activity Vector Analysis (AVA) was administered to Indian students, two independent subsamples (total n of 41), 4 mo. prior to the Bangladesh Revolution. They were requested to give the perceptions of Z. A. Bhutto, Yaha Khan, and Mujibur Rehman. 10 mo. later, Indian students were again asked to give their perceptions of the same national personalities. A high correlation between the profiles of Bhutto and Khan was obtained. In contrast, Rehman's profile correlated poorly with both Bhutto's and Khan's. Consistency in each profile was observed from the first assessment to the second. Discriminant analysis of the data supported all conclusions.
