The NSQ was administered to three groups of subjects: sixty neurotic patients, sixty patients with diagnoses other than that of neurosis and sixty normal controls. The groups were defined in terms of age, sex, intelligence and social class. The study was to investigate the validity of the questionnaire. It was found that the test separated the neurotic patients from the other two groups at a high level of confidence ( p < 0.01). However, it misclassified one in 7.2 subjects at 8.5 sten the most efficient cut‐off point for identifying neurotics. Secondly the NSQ and the MPI were given to 106 subjects and product moment correlations carried out between the two sets of test scores. All the NSQ factors showed significant positive correlations with the MPI N‐scale. The MPI E‐scale displayed positive relationships with the NSQ F and E factors. It is shown that the two tests measure the same variables but the NSQ measures other factors, one of which is Tendermindedness.
