[Examinations with the modified VNPI]

The revised design of a psychometric procedure (VNPI) is described. Additional factors were extracted by intercorrelations and factor analysis: increased perseveration, inhibited contact, defective flexibility, instability of moods. They provide information, additionally to the evaluation of the factors of vegetative lability, neuroticism, and introversion. A random test in 360 persons from a screening series is used for the presentation of the relations between VNPI values and findings of social and internal medicine. The possibilities of individual diagnosis of the procedure are demonstrated by VNPI profiles of patients.
