Personality characteristics of Parkinson's disease.
The 18 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease were individually administered the Rorschach test. They showed less Dd%, more S%, more FC, and slightly more M responses than Japanese normal adults. These findings suggest the following personality characteristics of Parkinsonians: they are reserved, self-reliant, over-control emotionality in their inner lives, and like going their own ways. They have good common sense.
