N2  - This study aimed to expose the characteristics of educational administrators in  select public secondary schools in the Divisions of City of Balanga and Bataan during  academic year 2018-2019. Moreover, it targeted to make an infographic in a form of a  mini book providing a brief discussion of the characteristics of the educational leaders in  the province.  Q-sort Approach was employed to gain those and to systematically analyze the  subjectivity of the topic. In detail, an unstructured interview was conducted to twenty five  (25) educational administrators composed of supervisors, school heads, and department  heads to make forty (40) statements or q set. After doing so, forty (40) respondents  composed of principals and department heads sorted the cue cards containing the q set or  forty (40) statements in the q grid. They were asked to rank the statements from most  desired, neutral, and least desired.  Afterwards, the results were encoded for the conduct of the factor analysis.  Specifically, PQMethod is utilized since it is deemed to find the relationship between the  retained factors. More so, data were analyzed further using the PQ Method software.  While a three-factor Varimax rotation was conducted to examine the data more closely.  From the findings, three (3) educational administrators' characteristics were  revealed: holistically confident, conscientious, and altruistic. It was also found that it was  not the length of experience rather the value of experiences encountered that make a  leader effective and efficient. Also, even though studying the characteristics is a  subjective kind of research, the findings were gained objectively with the employment of  the Q-method.   As a recommendation, constant orientation and Administrator Induction Program (AIP)  must be conducted and DepEd Order # 42, s. 2007 should also be revisited
