68 psychiatric outpatients were compared with 70 alcohol-impaired drivers and the norm sample (N = 432 college students) on Bipolar Profile of Mood States which measures six mood states. The psychiatric outpatients described themselves as more anxious, hostile, depressed, unsure, fatigued, and confused than members of the comparison groups. A table of T scores was constructed for use in assessing patients on the bipolar profile.
