This study was to find out the distinction between schizophrenics and delinquents personality characteristics based on Eysenck's personality dimensions of psychoticism and extraversion-introversion. Only male adolescents under 20 years old were selected as subjects. The Korean EPO was administered to three gorups: 30 schizophrenics. 30 delinquents and 30 normals. Results showed that both schizophrenics and delinquents were characterized by higher P than controls. and that schizophrenics were more introverted than controls while delinquents were more extraverted than controls. In conclusion schizophrenics and deliquents show opposite trait on the E-I dimension but common trait on P dimension.
