Having shown taxometrically that there exists a hypohedonic schizotypal taxon in a college population, J. J. Blanchard, S. W. Gangestad, S. A. Brown, and W. P. Horan (2000) suggested that P. E. Meehl erred in revising his 1962 theory by postulating a normal-range individual differences variable of hedonic capacity that potentiates schizotypy into schizophrenia. The aversive drift and secondary anhedonia of Meehl's theory imply that the schizotypal taxon will generate hypohedonic taxonicity in an adult population. Psychometrically measurable hedonic disposition (as distinguished from genetic primary hedonic capacity) is "dragged along" by the schizogene, especially in the social domain. To choose between causal interpretations, it could be ascertained whether the schizotypal anhedonic taxon is composed of individuals who are schizotaxic on the basis of psychophysiological, cognitive, and soft neurologic indicators.
J. J. 布兰查德、S. W. 甘格斯塔德、S. A. 布朗和W. P. 霍兰（2000年）通过分类测量表明，在大学生群体中存在一种快感缺乏的分裂型分类单元，他们认为，P. E. 米尔在修订其1962年的理论时犯了错误，他假定了一个正常范围内的个体差异变量，即快感能力，该变量将分裂型特质增强为精神分裂症。米尔理论中的厌恶漂移和继发性快感缺乏意味着，分裂型分类单元在成年人群体中会产生快感缺乏的分类特征。可通过心理测量的快感倾向（与遗传的原发性快感能力不同）会被分裂基因 “拖曳”，尤其是在社会领域。为了在因果解释之间做出选择，可以确定分裂型快感缺乏分类单元是否由基于心理生理、认知和软性神经学指标而具有分裂型特征的个体组成。
