This study explored the factor structure of the Personality Assessment Inventory(PAI). For this purpose, normal adult group were divided into two groups and the factor structure of both group were compared, with identifying the cross-validation indices. Furthermore, we compared this results with the factor structure of clinical group's. In normal adult group, four factors related to general psychological distress, interpersonal problems, acting-our tendency, and substance-use problems were obtained. An analysis of clinical group yield three factors, which, acting-out tendency and substance-use problems factors were included in one factor. The results from comparing several fitness indexes of the factor model seemed to support four factors model and three factors model in each normal adult and clinical group.
