Three brief excerpts from the autobiographical writings of Mohandas K. Gandhi were analyzed for neuropsychobiological content using the PCAD 2000 computer program. The computer software produces scores on 13 scales such as anxiety, hostility, cognitive impairment, and depression; compares the assigned scores with norms derived from 5-minute speech samples taken from normal, medically and psychiatrically healthy adults and children; and suggests DSM-IV diagnostic categories for consideration. The results demonstrate an objective, repeatable method for achieving insight into the mental states and traits of historic figures based on their writings.
使用PCAD 2000计算机程序，对莫罕达斯·K·甘地自传作品中的三段简短摘录进行了神经心理生物学内容分析。该计算机软件在焦虑、敌意、认知障碍和抑郁等13个量表上给出分数；将所给出的分数与从正常、医学和精神健康的成年人及儿童的5分钟言语样本中得出的标准进行比较；并提出可供考虑的《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版诊断类别。结果表明，有一种客观、可重复的方法，能够基于历史人物的作品洞察其心理状态和特质。
