The aim of this study was to evaluate personality in transsexuals. The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) profiles of 166 male-to-female (MF) and 88 female-to-male (FM) transsexuals were compared with those of a control group of males and females. MF and FM transsexuals scored significantly lower than males and females in RD4 (more independent) and C3 (more self-centeredness). MF transsexuals scored higher than males and females in HA4 (more fatigable), ST and ST3 (more spiritual acceptance), and lower in C5 (more opportunistic); moreover, they showed higher scores than males in RD1 (more sentimental) and lower than females in C (less cooperativeness). FM transsexuals scored lower than females in HA2 (more daring and confident), RD (less sentimental), and C5 (more opportunistic). Compared with FM, MF transsexuals scored higher on HA2 (more fearful), RD, RD1 (more sentimental), ST, ST2 and ST3 (more spiritual). All these differences were less than half a standard deviation except for C3. Data show that transsexuals and controls display a similar personality profile, even though there are some differential personality traits. Moreover, the personality profile of transsexuals was closer to the profile of subjects who shared their gender identity than those who shared their anatomical sex.
本研究旨在评估跨性别者的人格。将 166 名男性跨性别者（MTF）和 88 名女性跨性别者（FTM）的气质与性格问卷（TCI）特征与对照组男性和女性的特征进行比较。MTF 和 FTM 跨性别者在 RD4（更独立）和 C3（更以自我为中心）方面的得分明显低于男性和女性。MTF 跨性别者在 HA4（更易疲劳）、ST 和 ST3（更能接受精神）方面的得分高于男性和女性，而在 C5（更机会主义）方面的得分较低；此外，他们在 RD1（更情绪化）方面的得分高于男性，在 C（合作性较低）方面的得分低于女性。FM 跨性别者在 HA2（更勇敢自信）、RD（更不情绪化）和 C5（更机会主义）方面的得分低于女性。与 FM 相比，MF 跨性别者在 HA2（更恐惧）、RD、RD1（更情绪化）、ST、ST2 和 ST3（更精神）方面的得分更高。除了 C3，所有这些差异都不到半个标准差。数据表明，跨性别者和对照组表现出相似的人格特征，尽管存在一些不同的人格特征。此外，跨性别者的人格特征与那些认同其性别认同的受试者的人格特征更为接近，而不是与那些认同其解剖性别特征的受试者更为接近。
