A brief study of the validity of a neurotic inventory

Abstract

A modified from of 50 items, most of which are adapted from the Thurstone neurotic inventory, shows no differentiation between a group of 146 "adjusted" and 41 "known neurotic" students at the University of Buffalo. The responses to the three categories used, for both groups combined, in this questionnaire are as follows: 86% "little or no worry," 12% "disturb me moderately," and 1% "continuous and frequent anxiety."
