The authors applied TPI to the normals and psychiatric patients, and studied (1) the mean values of standard scores (T scores) on the validity scales, clinical scales and additional scale of TPI, (2) the degree of ratio of the normals and psychiatric patients through the discriminating indexes, and (3) the frequency and features of the two-point codes. The results were as follows : (1) On the validity scales, clinical scales and additional scale, the mean values of T scores of the normals were within the normal range of 45〜54 points. Compared with those of the normals, the mean values of T scores of the psychiatric patients were generally higher on any of the clinical scales. But there were found few clinical scales which showed abnormal scores, except in the case of some neurosis. With each kind of disease, such applicable scales as are considered to have some relation to the status of the disease showed higher scores than other scales. On the validity scales, T scores of Rr and Uf showed expressively higher values as compared with the normals. (2) According to the discriminating indexes on the clinical scales, 8.4% of the normals, 74.0% of the neurotics, 44.4% of the borderline cases, 70.0% of the depressives, 67.3% of schizophrenics, 57.1% of the atypical psychotics, 56.7% of the epileptics and 33.3% of the school refusals got T scores of 70 or more on one or more scales. In clinical classifications of neurosis, 76.9% of the hypochondriacs, 77.1% of the anxiety neurotics, 100.0% of the obsessivecompulsive neurotics, 58.3% of hysterics, 66.7% of the phobics and 70.6% of the other kind of neurotics got T score of 70 or more on one or more scales. (3) As for the types of two-point codes, such types as (2・4,4・2), (1・4,4・1), (1・2,2・1), (2・3,3・2) and (5・6,6・5), which frequently happened with the patients, were considered as the codes which have high possibility to indicate abnormality. With each kind of psychiatric disease, there was found a high frequency of such types of codes as are in combination with its applicable number which shows the disease. The frequencies of other types of codes were considered to have some relation to the status of the disease. With epilepsy, however, there were found no such type of codes as having its applicable number at their first places, while there were found a lot of such types of codes as having, 5,6,3 and 4 at their first places.
