Abstract
Forty patients with mild or moderate mental handicap were assessed by two psychiatrists using the scale devised by Mann et al, 1981 which describes abnormalities of personality. Analysis by weighted Kappa showed excellent agreement for some items (introversion, hysterical explosive, sociopathic, anankastic and affective). This questionnaire may be useful in the evaluation of personality in the mentally handicapped.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
