A comparison of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profiles of 21 men and 17 women who had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with the profiles of 50,500 general medical patients showed no marked deviations. The validating scales of the men and the women were similar to those of the general medical population. There was no evidence of increased defensiveness in the group with ALS, as measured by either the L or the K scale, when compared with the general medical population. Individual patient interviews also showed no characteristic personality profile for ALS patients.
对21名患有肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）的男性和17名患有该疾病的女性的明尼苏达多相人格调查表档案，与50500名普通内科患者的档案进行比较，结果显示没有明显偏差。男性和女性的验证量表与普通内科人群的量表相似。与普通内科人群相比，无论是通过L量表还是K量表测量，ALS患者组均没有防御性增强的证据。对个体患者的访谈也显示，ALS患者没有典型的人格特征。
