We investigated the relationships between these personality dimensions and prior arrest in a sample of adults participating in a longitudinal epidemiological study.

Paul Detrick The NEO PI-R is one of a group of closely-related objective assessment instruments (NEO Inventories) designed to measure the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality (Digman, 1990; McCrae & John, 1992).
