In (4), Seitz characterized those finite groups which have exactly one non-linear irreducible character (over the complex numbers). In this paper we are concerned with the general question of what can be deduced about a finite group G if the number of its non-linear irreducible characters m(G) is given. In particular, does the assumption that m(G) is in some sense small when compared with the order |G| impose any restrictions on the structure of G?
