In comparison the asthmatic patients with the hyperthyroid patients, the former showed more delayed Reaction Time and much Arbitrary Color responses that the latter. On the other hand, the latter showed the higher scores in Rejection, FC ∑C and (H) + (A) than the latter. Namely, the asthmatic patients looked more introversy and seclusive, while the tuberculosis patient looked more adjustable.3. In all groups, the following tendencies were observed : R D Rejection ≥1, Color Shock +, M ∑C<3, A%≥50 and Δvalue=-2. 5 (Deviant Verbalization) in many. These results indicate that these all subjects are repressive, obsessive and neurotic.
