Abstract
The short form to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was administered to 141 high school students or to students of high school age divided into 4 groups: a control group, a group of stutterers, a group of crippled individuals, and a group of cleft palate individuals. All were within the theoretical normal range of personality. The stutterers had increased indications of paranoia and depressive tendencies, but did not differ significantly from the crippled and the cleft palate groups in personality. The study did not indicate whether stuttering precipitated abnormal personality or vice-versa M. F. Palmer.
