A Scale of Personality Styles Based on DSM-III-R for Investigating Occupational Choice and Leisure Activities

This article presents measures of six personality styles designed to investigate occupational choice and leisure activity in survey research among normal populations. The instrument is composed of scales of seven items each that describe Narcissistic, Paranoid, Obsessive, Hysterical, Depressive and Impulsive personalities based on axis II of DSM-III-R (1987) and Shapiro's Neurotic styles (1965). The scales were validated on several independent samples (443 undergraduate students, 802 undergraduate and graduate students, 293 students and adult workers). We found that the measures of personality styles satisfied several tests of internal consistency, validity, and reliability. Although the results from our preliminary assessment of the difference in personality styles among selected occupational groups are not fully definitive, they do suggest that theoretically meaningful differences exist.
