Thirty semirural first married couples asking specifically for marital counseling from a small community mental health center were administered Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) as part of the intake procedure of the agency. Male and female mean scores for each of the 16 personality factors were derived and compared to the Cattell and Nesselroade (1967) means for unstable married couples. The mean profile for the males was significantly different on 7 of the 16 personality factors. For the female, 9 of the 16 proved significant. Differences were discussed in relation to specific community influences. The necessity of developing local norms when using psychometric instruments in the assessment of marital instability is suggested.
