their personality pattern and quality of life. For the said purpose a group of 50 neurotic patients were purposively
selected from the OPD of Psychiatric department of Tripura Medical College, Hapania. Another matched group of
normal persons was also purposively selected from West District. Data were collected by using NEO-Five Factor
