[Various features of personality and intellect in patients with multiple sclerosis].
The author analysed comparatively the results obtained in a 16-factor personality inventory of Cattell, in the WISKAD test, and Wechsler-Bellevue intelligence scale in a group of multiple sclerosis patients and a group of patients with radicular pains. Differences were found in factors A, N, O in the test of Cattell, in the Hy, Mk scales of the Wiskad test. In the group of multiple sclerosis the intelligence quotient was decreased in the performance scale and the vocabulary subtest in the Wechsler-Bellevue intelligence test. The obtained results were interpreted and hypotheses were put forward explaining the observed differences.
