Answers to personality questionnaires by eight groups totalling 1733 subjects from south and south‐west Scotland show marked trends towards ‘anxiety’ and less definite tendencies towards ‘introversion’ by comparison with American norms for the tests. The result for introversion confirms that of a previous study of British subjects by Cattell & Warburton (1961), but the result for anxiety is idiosyncratic and requires confirmation by other studies on large samples. Cattell's ‘children's’, ‘high school’ and ‘16 PF’ personality questionnaires were used.
