Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur validitas dan reliabilitas skala baru dari Neuroticism. Peneliti membuat skala baru neuroticism yang terdiri dari tiga skala, yaitu neuroticism, anxiety, and social relationship. Dalam penelitian ini, 129 mahasiswa dan mahasiswi Universitas Queensland ikut serta sebagai partisipan untuk menguji skala baru neuroticism. Peneliti menemukan bahwa terdapat korelasi yang significant antara skala original neuroticism dan skala neuroticism yang baru terdapat pula korelasi skala neuroticism dan anxiety. Hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan validitas antara original neuroticism dan skala baru neuroticism. Meskipun dalam penelitian ini tidak ditemukan korelasi antara skala baru neuroticism dan skala relationship. Peneliti juga menemukan bahwa terdapat reliabilitas yang bagus M=46.32, SD=6.38, dan item discrimination indices yang konsisten. Untuk penggunaan selanjutnya diharapkan untuk mempertimbangkan items yang berada di posisi rendah di dalam items discrimination indices.

The aim of this study is to test validity and reliability of the new scale of neuroticism. We made the new neuroticism scale and another three scales, which are original neuroticism scale, anxiety, and relationship. There were 129 students of University of Queensland. We found that there was positive significant correlation between original scale of neuroticism and new scale of neuroticism, and positive significant correlation between the new scale of neuroticism and anxiety.

The result also shows there is validity in our new scale and original scale of neuroticism. However, we found that there was no positive significant correlation between our new scale of neuroticism and relationship. We also found that our new scale has good reliability M 46.32, SD 6.38 , and item discrimination indices are consistent. Further uses should be considering the low items in discrimination indices.
