Abstract EN
The present research on the personality and intellectual characteristics of transsexuals is the first study carried out in Iran.
In this research all transsexuals applying for sexual transformation to the Forensic Medicine Center in Tehran during 1991-1993 were interviewed.
They were examined and evaluated psychologically by MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and adults Reven’s progressive matrices. The transsexuals taking part in this study consisted of 36 males and 8 females.
The control group was identical to the study group regarding number, sex, age and education.
The findings indicated a significant statistical difference between females in the two groups in their degree of hysteria and psychopathic deviation in MMPI.
Between men in the two groups a significant statistical difference was observed in their degree of psychopathic deviation, infrequency scale and paranoia measured by MMPI.
Regarding their intelligence quotient no considerable difference was found between the subjects and controls.
