The study was designed using cross-sectional correlation method. The Army Adjustment Scale and Lai’s Personality Scale were used for the study. The 127 male soldiers with adjustment disorders were recruited through the use of the purposive sampling. The results indicated that (1) the educational levels were significantly related to personality factor, (2) there was a significant relationship between adjustment and the individual differences of age, orders in the family members, educational level, family income, status in army and the length of staying in the army, (3) The type of eccentric personality was negatively related to adjustment, and (4) adjustment was significantly related to personality characteristics including “general activity”, “social extraversion”, thinking extraversion”, “rhathymia”, “inferiority feeling”, “nervousness”, “anxiety”, “depression” and “coorperation”. The findings of the study suggested that implementing screen of personality characteristics for men before entering in the army may help to identify the men who are likely to have an adjustment problem and to provide counseling services for them. The early identification of the men with personality and adjustment problems will reduce additional finance and staff of the army to deal with their adjustment problems.
