To compare the Scheduled Caste (SC) & Scheduled Tribe (ST) students with general students regarding their school and family background, personality profile and personal problems, a stratified systematic sample of 261 medical students was taken who filled up their individual set of questionnaires consisting of semistructured sociodemographic proforma, Personality Trait Inventory (PTI) and Students Personal Problems Index. Statistically significant differences were observed when schooling, family income, parents education and occupation and academic performance of general, SC and ST students were compared. Although no statistical differences on personality trait were observed, on activity and cyclothymic personality trait SC and ST students scored less, whereas, they scored more on depressive tendency, emotional instability and social desirability personality traits. The personal problems were different in three groups and also the number of attempts made to pass their professional examinations. Intervention measures have been suggested.
为了比较在册种姓（SC）和在册部落（ST）学生与普通学生在学校和家庭背景、个性特征和个人问题方面的差异，对 261 名医学生进行了分层系统抽样，他们填写了个人问卷，包括半结构化的社会人口学表格、人格特质量表（PTI）和学生个人问题指数。在比较普通学生、SC 学生和 ST 学生的教育程度、家庭收入、父母教育和职业以及学习成绩时，观察到了统计学上的显著差异。尽管在人格特质方面没有观察到统计学差异，但 SC 和 ST 学生在活动和环性人格特质方面的得分较低，而在抑郁倾向、情绪不稳定和社会期望人格特质方面的得分较高。这三个群体的个人问题也不同，他们为通过专业考试所做的尝试次数也不同。已经提出了干预措施。
