Personality Type’s Relationship with Psychological Characteristics of Psychotic Patients

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personality type and psychological traits in both psychotic and non-psychotic individuals. For the purpose of gathering the necessary data from patients, both psychotic and non-psychotic, intentionally (N=50) volunteers were contacted. Ten distinct TAT cards were chosen to serve as a measuring scale. The same participant's personality inventory was used in conjunction with TAT to objectively assess the participant's personality traits. To measure the needed subject matter objectively, the cross-sectional research design of the current study was used. Internal consistency, intercorrelation, t-test, and ANOVA were employed for the statistical analysis. Results indicated that there is no statistically significant difference between male and female personality types on the personality inventory (p > 0.05). Only two of the personality scale's domains—conscientiousness and emotional stability—showed a gender difference. The results showed that there was no significant difference between personality types and educational status. Additionally, there was no significant difference between psychotic and non-psychotic personality types and psychological traits in terms of residential status and socioeconomic status. According to TAT findings, schizophrenic individuals were less emotionally stable, open-minded, and conscientious and more neurotic, introverted, and neurotic. The association between personality types and psychotic condition has been found to be robust, even though there was a strong correlation between personality types, psychotics, and non-psychotics.
