In a prospective longitudinal study, stability of personality traits was examined between the age of 15 and the age of 25. Scales, derived from an Adjective Check List, intending to predict obsessive‐ compulsive character neurosis, anti‐aggressive character neurosis and non‐neuromtic personality have been utilized. Temporal stability of the examined personality traits was demonstrated.
