What statistical method should I be using to analyse these data in SPSS?
I'm in the midst of analysing data for a study that investigates what makes a leader. None of my data is normally distributed, it's all been collected using different scales and it has to be completed by 12 noon tomorrow. I have no idea what I'm doing. Basically the aim of the study is to look at how data gathered on the big five personality traits (Extroversion, Openness, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Neuroticism), emotional intelligence and self monitoring relates to the number of leadership roles a person has achieved. All the data was collected from university students.
The personality traits were scored on a 7 point scale and so was self monitoring
Emotional Intelligence was scored on a 5 point scale
Leadership positions are just added up and the maximum we found was 4
I know I'm supposed to be using some kind of non-parametric measure to analyse these but I've never done this before and I'm struggling.
Please help
