Abstract

180 patients with paranoid schizophrenia were subject to examination. They were examined individually, in the period of remission. Their intellectual capacities were assessed by means of the Wechsler-Bellvue Scale, whereas self-concept was assessed by the Adjective Check List. On the basis of a general intelligence quotient the following extreme subgroups were statistically isolated:
− with the lowest intelligence quotient in the group under examination (85-101; x = 92,9), which comprised 46 subjects;
− with the highest intelligence quotient in the group under examination (116-132; x = 120,6), which comprised 47 subjects.

In the subsequent stage the real and retrospective self-concepts were compared with the highest and lowest intelligence quotients, thereby the following conclusions could be drawn:
1. The real self-concepts in paranoid schizophrenics differ essentially in relation to their level of intelligence.
2. The patients with the highest and lowest intelligence quotient have similar retrospective self-concepts.
3. The patients with higher intelligence quotient have a more intense sense of changing oneself than the patients with a lower quotient.
