161 alcoholics with an average abuse of alcohol of about five years who had volunteered to undergo treatment were given the IST (Amthauer). The average age for the 90 male and 71 female patients was 39 years. The results of the investigation indicated a decrease in intelligence, some functions of intelligence being more affected than others, especially in women. In addition a significant fixture of intelligence ("Verfestigung" according to Amthauer) was found. It may be assumed that the impaired intelligence performance can be attributed to disturbed attention and drives rather than to brain lesions. The possibility of restitution and modification of personality by psychotherapy is being discussed.
161名平均酗酒约五年且自愿接受治疗的酗酒者接受了IST（阿姆陶尔测试）。90名男性和71名女性患者的平均年龄为39岁。调查结果表明智力有所下降，某些智力功能比其他功能受影响更大，尤其是在女性中。此外，还发现了智力的显著固定化（根据阿姆陶尔的说法是“固化”）。可以假设，智力表现受损可归因于注意力和驱力紊乱，而非脑部病变。正在讨论通过心理治疗恢复和改变人格的可能性。
