Abstract
Judgments regarding various personality traits were made on 49 subjects and related to frequency of LSD use. Frequency of use was negatively related to understanding of self and others, to degree of consistency between professed values and behavior, and to a sense of ability to control one's life. No differences were found between various frequency of use groups in terms of general academic and career competence. On the other hand, frequency of use was related to alienation from many traditional values of society and to an involvement in alternative life styles. Reasons for such differences are discussed.
