Abstract
In recent years research workers have shown a relative lack of interest in the constitutional correlates of normal personality. However, recent findings in the field of psychosomatic medicine suggest the need for a careful reexamination of this field of research. Several studies have indicated that breast cancer, lung cancer, and myocardial infarction patients are more extraverted and less neurotic than hospital control group patients (Eysenck, 1965). Also, duodenal ulcer patients have been reported as being both introverted and neurotic (Kanter and Hazelton, 1964).
