The Arrow-Dot subtest of the IES Test was administered to 20 Ss in a therapeutic drug community and 20 Ss in a methadone maintenance program. The data indicated that the subtest discriminated significantly between the personality integration of Ss in the therapeutic community and delinquents or neurotics. The scores of the methadone Ss on some variables, however, were not significantly different from those of neurotics and delinquents.
