[Usefulness of shortened questionnaires for detection of accentuated personalities].
A survey is given of literature on the experience gained with the shortened questionnaire developed by Schmieschek for the registration of accentuated features of the personality acc. to Leonhard, information is given on the results of statistical tests of this procedure leading to a decrease in the numberof items. Factorial analysis confirmed the homogeneity of some hypothetic scales of features along the lines  of factorial validity, but the homogeneity of others appeared questionable. The shortened questionnaire therefore would not, at first sight, seem to be a reliable and valid measuring instrument for diagnosis in an individual case. Reference is made to further implications of possible diagnosis of accentuated features by means of questionnaires.
