The findings revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between the mean response of teachers and students on extroverted and introverted agricultural science teachers in the management of secondary school farm (r = 0.79, p = 0.00, N= 450). It further revealed that there is a significant positive correlation between the mean response of teachers and students on emotionally stable and unstable agricultural science teachers in the management of secondary school farms (r = 0.54, p = 0.00, N= 450).
