[Multiple sclerosis and personality aspects (author's transl)]. 1976

M Lurati, and E H Bottenberg, and J Lützenkirchen, and H Schoefer

In a sample of 85 multiple sclerosis patients an increase of the objective neurological degree of severity of the illness resulted in a significant decrease of manifold psychometrically recorded functions of intelligence (verbal and non-verbal intelligence). Of the personality characteristics registered by questionnaire only depression proved significant, but numerically slightly positive correlation with the degree of severity of the illness. The correlations between degree of severity and personality characteristics, as aggressiveness, sociability, neuroticism, extraversion were not significant. The personality-psychological results were especially interpreted and discussed with regard to the therapeutic consequences.
