Although we have many reports about the pain threshold mechanism and the method of objective assessment, there are so many factors which are not yet made clear.
To find a tool for pain assessment, the author conducted a survey for the healthy students.
In this survey, the author collated the words used describe pain obtained a quantitative measure of pain using a eleven-point scales from 0=free from pain to 10=unbearable pain.
In conclusion, it is conjectured in Japanese that the combination of several words and the usages of adjectives and simulation words make it more possible in the expression of pains.
The difference on pain expressions between man and woman was shown in only word “cutting-like pain”. There also was no difference about each word of pain expression in “t” exam of five typed YG character test. The same result was found in four factors concerning emotional stability on YG character test.
