As increased awareness of the problem in alcoholism, there has been attempted various efforts to identify the cause of alcoholism for its treatment and rehabilitation. One of results on the attempt is typology of alcoholic personality. It meant that alcoholics have symptoms in very negative, passive, aggressive and antisocial tendencies as well as weak ego, neurotic and depressive characters. Based on these studies, personality type approach has been applied in treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics. The researcher, however, raised a doubt about whether the type of personality as the result of personality theory and previous research is caused to be alcoholic or the type of personality is formed as the result of alcoholic. Since such type of personality may be seen in non-alcoholics. To support this research question, a comparative study was performed between before alcoholics as adolescence and after alcoholics based on 5 types of personality (BIF). It is found that personality was changed between before and after alcoholic upon this study. That is to say that there was not appeared the typical alcoholic personality before becoming alcoholic, and there was type of alcoholic personality after become alcoholic in similar to the personality theory and previous study.
