Summary A grope of young male drug misusers was compared with a group of young male delinquents of approximately the same age and range of intelligence, on two measures of personality and a Semantic differential. Then is great similarity between the two sets of findings; the differences found lie largely in the greater emotional vulnerability of the drug‐using group.
