This article explores the psychometric performance of the Psychological Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles (PICTS) in a group of female offenders. The internal consistency, test-retest stability, concurrent validity, and factor structure of the PICTS were comparable to results obtained in an earlier study of male offenders. However, the females achieved significantly higher scores on seven of the eight PICTS thinking style scales relative to the male normative sample. The potential implications of these findings are discussed.
