In the evaluation of the social personality types, we have examined personality along simple social.dimensions by ; easily applied interview and observational methods to determine how a particular type functions under stresses induced by social-situationai changes or drugs. The social dimensions we used he re focused primarily on the subject's » interpersonal relationship: (a) a person's feelings about other people; (b) / ~ how does he communicate to other people; (c) how does he react to stress situations which involve his relationships to othe r pe ople; (d) how aware is . he of how he is behaving when he is with other people. ; From these dimensions we derived thirty- six per sonality attributes . Through one method of analysis, using a theoretical point.ofLview r: 7 of the above method of evaluation, six personality types have been determined. The relationships established between these types and their reaction to - ,, L.S.D. have been reported in our 1953-1954 Annual Report. Persons who ’ over-value acceptance or rejection of o thers tend toward a turmoil type of, L. S.D. reaction. Per sons who are socially introverted are most likely to have a schizophrenic type of reaction. On the. other hand we were unable to , predict the psychiatric syndrome or its severity the elated or interactive type. It is clearly indicated that further careful study is required to determine • more reliable criteria for prediction and diagnosis. Some subjects maintained enough of their pre-L. S.D. traits to remain characteristically of the same personality type under L.S.D. Others, however, showed under L.S.D. traits opposite their pre-L. S. D.‘ characteristics. 3 v, *
