Abstract
The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire was administered to 266 male alcoholics when they voluntarily entered the 60-day Treatment Program at the Lexington, Kentucky, Veterans Administration Hospital. These alcoholics scored significantly higher than the standardization group on 6 scales and scored significantly lower on 6 other scales. The data support the view that chronic alcoholics are a distinct personality type.Keywords
