Can the NEO PI-R be used to diagnose psychiatric disorders? What are some limitations of using this instrument for this purpose?
The NEO PI-R is not designed to diagnose specific psychiatric disorders. While some personality traits measured by the NEO PI-R may be associated with certain disorders (e.g., high Neuroticism scores may be associated with anxiety or mood disorders), the test is not diagnostic in nature. Furthermore, there is some controversy regarding the validity of using personality tests like the NEO PI-R to diagnose psychiatric disorders, as the constructs being measured may not always map onto diagnostic criteria used by mental health professionals.
