Abstract：
:To investigate the merits of using psychometric testing as a predictive adjunct to counseling patients in the choice of a contraceptive method, 134 family-planning patients using an oral contraceptive for one year or longer completed the Neuroticism Scale Questionnaire. Clinic records of these patients were examined to determine consistency of contraceptive usage. Patients who were inconsistent in contraceptive usage scored significantly higher on the anxiety and emotional immaturity for inconsistent users. Results of this study provided support for the findings of two similar studies but failed to provide support for others. However, the over-all predictive ability of the questionnaire scores proved to be low. Further study is recommended. :134 family planning patients who had been using oral contraceptives for at least 1 year were administered the Neuroticism Scale Questionnaire (NSQ). This test measures the following factors: 1) sensitivity vs. practicality; 2) depressiveness vs. cheerfulness; 3) submissiveness vs. dominance; 4) anxiety; and 5) total neuroticism. For inconsistent contraceptive users, the anxiety scores were significantly (p less than .05) higher than for consistent users. Scores for the other measures were not significantly higher. Results of this study do not confirm findings of other similar studies. Further work is needed in order to isolate a personality characteristic which would indicate potential contraceptive performance level.
