[Diagnosis of intelligence and personality in 23 cases of Turner syndrome (author's transl)].
The psychological examination of 23 Turner-patients from 6 to 35 years of age gave the following results: 1. The mean Verbal IQ in the Hamburg-Wechsler-Test was 100,7. The Performance IQ was significantly lower, a result which is characteristic for organic brain damages. 2. Two thirds of the patients had a better curriculum than one would expect from the IQ. 3. In the Rorschach Test most patients showed signs of inhibition. 4. In reaction to the disorders the patients have inferiority complexes during puberty. When marriageable most patients find a partner. The desire for a child then tends to become less important.
