Abstract
The CMI test was performed to clarify the predisposition of patients with vertigo.1. CMI III and IV types were noted in about 30% of patients with vertigo. They showed neurotic tendency. CMI IV type was noted in none of patients with Ménière's disease or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). They showed psychiatric stability.2. Patients with vertigo showed high scores for the Eyes and ears and the Habits. It was thought that the former was the predisposition to onset of vertigo and the latter was the cause to onset of vertigo. The scores for physical and psychological symptoms showed no difference between Ménière's disease and BPPV. Patients with otogenic vertigo showed high scores for psychological symptoms and psychiatric instability.3. The Anger of 9 specific psychiatric items was characteristic of patients with vertigo. It was concluded by individual interviews that the Anger was equivalent to emotional instability.
