Analysis of the results of the Y-G personality inventory, Cattell's 16 personality factors, Shimoda's personality inventory and the VERAC personality inventory revealed seven factors in each of two subject groups consisting of 476 male and 322 female undergraduate students. The data were analyzed by principal component analysis and rotated by the oblique varimax method. The seven factors were designated as follows: (1) cyclothymic personality - extravert; (2) depressive - nervous personality; (3) immodithymic personality; (4) schizothymic personality - affected by feelings; (5) hysteric personality; (6) autistic - hyper-sensitive personality; (7) non-cooperative, epileptic personality. On the whole, these factors corresponded with Kretschmer's three basic temperament types. Factors 1 and 3 were cyclothymic temperament, factors 4 and 6 were schizothymic temperament and factor 7 was collathymic temperament (epileptic personality). Factor 5 (hysteric personality) did not directly correspond with Kretschmer's basic types and has recently been regarded as a part of the epileptic personality in psychopathological studies. It was concluded, therefore, that factors 5 and 7 could be regarded as corresponding to a personality type designated as collathymic temperament.
