To know the personality trends of a patient when treating psychosomatic illnesses is just as important as somatical examination and study of psychogenic factors and environment. Psychological (Personality) tests that can be conducted readily by a practicing doctor are taken up here. These comprise six different tests divided into : (1) Questionnaires (Koga Introextrovert Test, MAS, Yatabe-Guilford or Y-G Test and CMI) , (2) Projective Method (K-SCT) and, (3) Rating Method (Hirezaki Emotion Diagnostical Query Method) . Results from the application of these tests to psychosomatic patients (165 cases) were compared with results obtained from normal healthy subjects (141 cases) . Comparison showed that there were relatively more psychosomatic patients showing personality deviations than healthy subjects. These tests, however, in most cases only divided the personality and psychological tendency of the testee into certain patterns. K-SCT was, however, found useful for individual understanding. It was also found that there are certain respective relationships between the different tests. But, In any case, each test has its own limitation and the importance of interviews to obtain valuable information, using tests on a preliminary basis. was brought home more forcibly than ever.
