The construction of a temperament questionnaire for early adult life is described, utilizing the nine categories of the New York Longitudinal Study. A correlation matrix of the nine categories, as generated from the 140 item questionnaire, and a factor analysis are reported, and the significance of the factor is discussed. The questionnaire was administered to 70 young adult subjects of the NYLS, and independent temperament ratings were also obtained by interviews with the same subject. The correlations between the interview and questionnaire ratings are reported, and their bearing on the issue of validity is discussed.
