Abstract

This study investigated the intellectual functioning and its relationship to schizotypal symptoms in nonclinical female college students with schizotypal personality traits. Based on the scores of the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire, the schizotypal trait (n=20) and normal control (n=20) groups were being selected. The Korean-Wechsler Adults Intelligence Scale(K-WAIS) was administered for the measurement of intelligence functioning. Compared to the normal control group, the schizotypal trait group exhibited significantly lower Total IQ and Performance IQ. In addition, schizotypal trait group showed lower scores on the Arithmetic, Comprehension, Picture Completion and Picture Arrangement than normal controls. In terms of relationships between intellectual functioning and schizotypic symptoms in schizotypal trait group, negative correlations were observed between Arithmetic and Cognitive-Perceptual factor, between Picture Arrangement and Interpersonal factor, and between Object Assembly and Interpersonal factor. Scores on the Arithmetic were negatively correlated with the SPQ total scores. In addition, the scores of Arithmetic and Picture arrangement significantly predict the total score of SPQ. These results indicate that the intellectual functioning is impaired for nonclinical individuals with schizotypal trait, and, particularly, these individuals seem to have difficulties in attention/concentration, social sensitivity, interpersonal relationships or ability to cope with problems in social situations. In addition, the performances on Arithmetic and Picture arrangement could serve as predictors for high-risks of schizospectrum disorders.
