Abstract
The PDQ (Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire) is a self-report questionnaire derived from the personality disorders section of the original DSM-III. The authors report the results of a study to determine the extent to which a PDQ index of overall personality disturbance agrees with clinicians' assessments in 552 patients with and without personality disorder. The results showed that the PDQ-derived total PDQ score may be used to differentiate patients with a high likelihood for personality disturbance from those with a lower likelihood of personality disturbance.
