Also neither scale score seems to be affected any differently whether it is neutral items that are included or items from the other scale. These results suggest that combining subscales or adding neutral items has no effect on the responses to either scale. REFERENCES 1. FELDMAN, M. J. and SIEGEL, S. M.

PROBLEM AND PROCEDUREThe present study attempts to discriminate between the "alcoholic person lity" and the general population using the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 P. F.).(l)The data for this investigation are based on profiles drawn at random from the hospital records of alcoholic in-patients, all residents of Davidson County, Tennessee, committed to the hospital for a period of sixty days by the county court. Commitment results after all other resources have failed and represents a relatively complete failure on the part of the individual to adapt to his problems.The sample consists of sixty-nine male subjects between the ages of thirty and fifty-five, whose average education is approximately nine years. Reading comprehension was required for the examination.The hypothesis is that our obtained means do not differ significantly from those of the general population reported by the authors of the test for each of the sixteen factors. The tests were two tailed since each direction of deviation has a separate and distinct meaning, with Alpha set a t .05. The authors of the test have published norms for both males and females separately. Naturally, our results are tested against their male norms.1This study was made possible by a grant from the Tennessee Alcoholic Commission. Acknowledgment is due to its chairman, Judge Henry P. Todd, and to the superintendant of the Davidson County Hospital, Dr. Joseph J. Baker.
