The present paper shows the effect of varying levels of culture-contact on the personality structure of the Gurungs using Spindler's (1952) technique. The sample consisted of the Western Gurungs (N=38) of the foot hills of Annapurna, Lamjung Himal and Himal Chuli, of the Gandaki Zone; the Eastern Gurungs (N= 33) of Rumjatar, Sagarmatha Zone; and the Migrated Gurungs (N=29) of Sharadanagar (Chitwan), Narayani Zone. The Rorschach findings reveal that the Gurungs show practical common sense in handling life problems, lack inner creativeness similar to Baiga and Santhals (Ray, 1975). Nigh acculturation shows greater stereotypy. Affect control seems to increase with the rise of acculturation. Egocentric extratension increases with the altitude of their habitation and ecological hardship. The basic personality appears resistant to change ontogenetically, and acculturation seems make very little dent to that structure.
