This paper summarizes the results of a survey into the prestige of various occupations in contemporary Czechoslovak rociety. which was carried out in November 1990 on a representative sample of 1400 respondents in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The results show a high level of prestige of scientific (research) professions. All the five representalives of the research community finished among the top 20 professions (a total of 49 dimerent professions were evaluated). Out of these. associate professor was third in the scale of prestige. with scientist fourth and head of a research centre tenth. The prestige of scientists did not depend statistirally on the age. x x or education of respondents. From factor analysis it follows that the group of professions connected with science or research forms a relatively independent subgroup of professions assessed by respondents in a similar manner. Finally. the prestige of scientific and research professions in Cmhoslovak society is much higher than scienlists think it is.
