An androgyny (gender identity) and a need achievement (n Ach) test were given to 28 normals, 23 schizophrenic patients, and 23 nonschizophrenic psychiatric patients. The psychiatric groups averaged a little over 3 weeks of hospitalization. There were gender differences for the androgyny and n Ach tests, but there were no significant differences among the three groups and no gender X diagnostic group interactions. There were significant correlations between age and both androgyny and n Ach scores, but no significant correlation between androgyny and n Ach scores.
