A close relative of 55 severely head injured adults rated the personality of the patient at 3, 6 and 12 months after injury, using a Yes/No judgement, and analogue scales comprising bipolar adjectives. The relative assessed the "current" as well as the "premorbid" personality at each time. Personality change was associated with many negative scores on the analogue scale, and increasing negative scores were associated with high "subjective burden" on the relative. Severity of injury (post-traumatic amnesia) was of no significance in predicting the extent or pattern of personality change.
55名重度颅脑损伤成年人的一位近亲，分别在受伤后3个月、6个月和12个月，通过“是/否”判断以及包含双极形容词的视觉模拟量表，对患者的性格进行评分。这位近亲每次都对“当前”以及“病前”性格进行评估。性格变化与视觉模拟量表上的许多负面分数相关，而负面分数的增加与近亲的高“主观负担”相关。损伤严重程度（创伤后遗忘症）在预测性格变化的程度或模式方面并无意义。
