The application of the VNPI-test, i.e. neurosis screening, to 46 female patients attending consultations on sterility, is reported. For patients having normal genital organs, the test results indicated a neurotic personality at rate three times higher (52%) than for patients found to have pathological genitals (17%). This result is understood to confirm the opinion which, in addition to somatic causes, also accepts a psychogenic etiology of sterility. Therefore, the importance of early psychological investigation is pointed out, which should not start as late as once all somatic efforts have failed.
报告了对46名因不育前来咨询的女性患者应用神经症筛查的VNPI测试的情况。对于生殖器官正常的患者，测试结果显示神经质人格的比例（52%）是生殖器官有病变患者（17%）的三倍。这一结果被认为证实了一种观点，即除了躯体原因外，不育症也存在心理病因。因此，指出了早期心理调查的重要性，不应等到所有躯体治疗方法都失败后才开始。
