Abstract
This research is addressed to the question: Do personality characteristics measured by MMPI scales differ with the drug of choice of drug abuser populations? Several studies indicate that drug abusers tend to produce high scores in measures of psychopathic deviance and depression. Gilbert and Lombardi (1967) found that the items of the MMPI most significant in identifying drug abusers (not differentiated by drug of choice) were derived from the D and Pd scales.
