Christie and Geis' Mach IV test was given to 231 senior accounting and management majors at two different universities to assess whether institution attended and specific business major may be associated with Machiavellianism. Scores on Machiavellianism did not vary between accounting and management majors but may be sensitive to the institution which the students choose to attend.
