This correlational study, using an adult sample of 175 men and 123 women, replicates the correlational patterns between the Self-Directed Search (SDS; Holland, 1985a) and the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI/FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1989) observed in earlier investigations. The relationships between the SDS and the Personal Styles Inventory (PSI; Silver & Malone, 1993)—developed to measure six personality disorders or styles from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., rev.) (DSM-III-R; American Psychiatric Association, 1987)—were also explored. Canonical and simple correlational analyses indicate that the SDS is more closely related to the NEO PI/FFI than to the PSI. These analyses lend support to the formulation for some of Holland's Personality types.
