The Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire is a self-report personality inventory measuring three major personality dimensions: Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Reward Dependence.
Abstract
The Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire is a self-report personality inventory measuring three major personality dimensions: Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Reward Dependence. Normative data, based on a U.S. national probability sample of 1,019 adults, are presented and the psychometric properties of the questionnaire are discussed.

The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.

A number of Cloninger's predictions concerning the structural and external validity of the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire are supported, but it is suggested that the TPQ may fail to adequately operationalize several components of his model.

The conceptual validity of the unified model of personality, postulated by Cloninger (1987) and measured by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), is tested in diverse Yugoslav and American societies and was found to be psychometrically sound and valid for further research, although some revision in the reward dependence scale is warranted.

The findings suggest that the likelihood of becoming a smoker may be a function of novelty seeking and reward dependence, whereas degree of dependence or addiction once the habit is entrained may be linked to harm avoidance.
