Analysis of the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) scores from 135 (20 years to 60 years old) patients who had sustained closed head injuries supported the hypothesis of a nonlinear relationship between the severity of depression and the magnitude of the discrepancy between intelligence and neuropsychological proficiency. Although the MMPI Depression T scores for all groups of patients were elevated (M = 78, SD = 13), patients with the least and greatest discrepancies between intelligence and neuropsychological proficiency scored lower on Depression than patients with discrepancies within the z-score ranges -2.0 and -1.1. The results of symmetrical covariance for either depression or complex partial epileptic-like experiences before comparisons between groups suggested depression and the epileptic-like experiences share the same source of variance.
对135名（年龄在20岁至60岁之间）闭合性颅脑损伤患者的明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）得分进行分析，支持了抑郁严重程度与智力和神经心理能力之间差异大小呈非线性关系的假设。尽管所有患者组的MMPI抑郁T分数均升高（M = 78，SD = 13），但智力与神经心理能力差异最小和最大的患者在抑郁量表上的得分低于z分数范围在-2.0至-1.1之间的患者。在组间比较之前，对抑郁或复杂部分性癫痫样经历进行对称协方差分析的结果表明，抑郁和癫痫样经历具有相同的方差来源。
