Objective: To develop the Intoxicated Personality Scale (IPS). Methods: Data were collected from 436 college students via an online survey. Through an iterative measurement development process, the resulting IPS was created. Results: The 5 subscales (Good Time, Risky Choices, Risky Sex, Emotional, and Introvert) of the IPS positively related to alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, drinking motives, alcohol expectancies, and personality. Conclusions: The results suggest that the Intoxicated Personality Scale may be a useful tool for predicting problematic alcohol consumption, alcohol expectancies, and drinking motives.
