This project attempted to identify potential dropouts from a therapeutic community utilizing results from the Personal Orientation Inventory. It was hypothesized that the higher the Personal Orientation Inventory score, the sooner the resident would drop out of the program. It was also hypothesized that the scales would be better predictors of length of stay than the demographic variables traditionally gathered in such programs. The Personal Orientation Inventory was a weak but significant predictor of length of stay and a better predictor of length of stay than were the demographic variables
