In order to replicate previous findings, two studies were carried out comparing migraine patients and headache free controls in terms of degree of ambition, idea of tidiness, and rigidity. Migraineurs (75 Ss in study I, 82 in study II) were recruited in the frame of two large inquiries on headache frequency; control groups were made up of persons out of the same samples and matched for age, sex, educational level and professional status. Personality variables were assessed by means of a standardized questionnaire. Group differences did not attain statistical significance in any of the scales. Configural frequency analysis revealed that combination of increased ambition, idea of tidiness and rigidity, often considered as typical for persons with migraine, was actually more common among controls.
