Abstract
The Comrey Personality Scales (CPS) were administered to 394 psychiatric outpatients. The 40 subscales that define the eight CPS factors were intercorrelated and factor analyzed to determine if the same structure of personality traits fits beth normal and psychologically disturbed individuals. The factor structure in this study was very close to that found previously in six other widely different kinds of populations. These results support a previously stated conclusion that tests of normal personality traits are appropriate for use in assessment with psychologically disturbed individuals.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
