- Summary:
- The Revised NEO Personality Inventory is the first practical guide to the use and interpretation of the NEO PI-R, the only commercially available instrument to assess personality on the dimensions of the Five-Factor Model. Unlike instruments that emphasize only psychopathology, the NEO PI-R identifies personality strengths as well as problematic personality styles. Clinicians who draw upon this greatly expanded range of relevant client information can more effectively plan treatment and document progress. This volume provides -a complete introduction-a far-ranging summary of multidisciplinary, multicultural research-instructions for effective use-and a computer program and questionnaires to help researchers with new samples and outcome studies.
