N2 - The purpose of the study was to examine the location of Zuckerman's sensation seeking (SS) construct in the personality domain as measured by Cattell's 16 personality factors (16PF). The results of the factor analytic study indicated that the global construct of sensation seeking is related to the broad personality factor of independence. When the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) was divided into subscales, relations with two other broader personality factors, superego and pathemia, emerged as well. Nevertheless, the relationship with independence remained the most dominant one. The results of the present study seem to locate the sensation-seeking construct in the personality domain more precisely than previous findings.
