- Abstract
- This study describes the intellectual ability of a cohort consisting of 120 young women in compulsory care at a SiS institution in Sweden, tested and analyzed between January 2001 and May 2005. The women have been tested with the intelligence tests WISC-III or WAIS-R, as well as the personality trait tests BCT, CMPS and SCL-90, and the personality disorder test SCID-II. This material has been analyzed to investigate how these women's intellectual ability relates to other factors. The analyses show that the main difference between the women of this study and the normal population is their level of intelligence and presence of personality disorders. The IQ level of these women is statistically proven on an average one standard deviation... (More)

The analyses show that the main difference between the women of this study and the normal population is their level of intelligence and presence of personality disorders. The IQ level of these women is statistically proven on an average one standard deviation lower than the normal population. Tests of psychological personality traits show that this cohort as a whole land within a normal range, even though personality disorders are common. The intellectual ability has been compared to demographic variables as well as personality tests. These comparisons show significant correlations between intellectual ability and land of origin, social class, school records, eating disorders, main substance abuse, as well as separate variables from the personality tests.
