The Giessen-test was applied during gerontological complex investigations to study the biological ages of predominantly professionally engaged Leipzig citizens. Four dimensions of this psycho-diagnostical procedure showed a clear age-characteristic confirming the tendencially known features of psycho-social ageing. The achieved results point again to the fact that the deficit-model of ageing processes is not justified in psycho-social relations, in particular. The experiences of this experimental series claim further that the Giessen Test should be applied with old-age people reserve only because of the methodical problems implied.
在老年综合调查中应用了吉森测试，以研究主要为专业人士的莱比锡市民的生物年龄。这种心理诊断程序的四个维度显示出明显的年龄特征，证实了心理社会衰老的已知趋势特征。所取得的结果再次表明，衰老过程的缺陷模型在心理社会关系中尤其不合理。该实验系列的经验进一步表明，由于存在方法上的问题，吉森测试仅应谨慎应用于老年人。
