Abstract
Several writers have suggested that female homosexuals have personality profiles that differ from those of female heterosexuals, but these profiles are not pathological in nature. This hypothesis was tested on 46 “normal” female homosexuals using the California Psychological Inventory, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. There was only a slight personality pattern difference between the groups and neither group showed a pathological personality patttern.Keywords
