This report is intended to make the psychological structure of self-diagnosis clear, which is now one of the most important methods for the type-diagnosis, whose psychological nature, however, has been in almost all cases neglected.
The Self or Ego, the objects of self-diagnosis, is to be observed from two aspects; (a) The Self which is immediately apprehended by oneself, (b) the Self which is apparent to others, then mediately apprehended by oneself through ether's diagnosis. Self-diagnosis in the former case may be here termed “Self-diagnosis of Self-proper”, and in the latter case “Self-diagnosis of Self-apparent”.
Observers are required to introspect their own “Self” from these two aspects and answer “yes”, “no”, or “doubtfu1” on the following charactertraits;
1, depressed 2, social 3, versatile 4, solitary 5, idealistic 6, obstrude 7,
nervous 8, ambivert 9, abstract-thinking 10, cheerful

Results:
1. The Self-apparent is to be diagnosed “extrovert” more than the Self-proper (See Table I in the Japanese text).
2. The contradictory answers are found to be 13.6% of all.
3. The contradictory answers are most interesting for the analysis of Self-diagnosis. These are caused from their introspections as following; a) Tendency to endevour to express opposite-self before others. b) Tendency to express opposite-Self by their habits and cultures. c) Tendency to have split-character traits. d) Tendency to express particular self when in company with groups of persons, i.e. class party or sport-game.
4. We can determine the contrast-type, which gives many contradictory answersand shows S>30. Contrast-type is to be divided into a) extrovert-contrast type (+S)andβ) introvert-contrast type (-S). In the former case, the Self-apparent is diagnosed as “extrovert” more than the Self-proper, and in the latter as “introvert” more than the Self -proper. The pure contrast type , then, is “introvert→extrovert” or “extrovert→introvert” type. (See Table 13 in the Japanese text)
5. Besides the contrast type, there are also the constant type and indefinable type obtained. In the former, the Self is equally diagnosed in both cases, “introvert” or “extrovert”. The latter type gives many doubtful answers, so that can not be determined as one type, but if doubtful answers could be one symptom of the type, this indefinable type becomes one positive type.
6. The psychological function of Self-diagnosis is not simple but complex. We must give full attention and expect the complete type-diagnosis by it.
