NEO–PI–R Neuroticism Scores in Substance-Dependent Outpatients: Internal Consistency anSELF-PAdCROTNNERE RA,G ZRHEOENMGE, ND TU OBENR NSETUESIRNOTICISM elf-Partner Agreement

We evaluated internal consistency reliabilities and self-partner agreement on Revised NEO Personality Inventory (Costa&McCrae, 1992) Neuroticism (N) domain and facet scores (anxiety, angry hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, vulnerability) in a sample of 48 substance-dependent outpatients. Low internal consistency was seen for self-rated impulsiveness (α= .36). Agreement between self and partner reports was low for impulsiveness (.22) and vulnerability (.24) and was modest for the remaining facets of N (.31 to .34) and the N domain score (.31).
