IT APPEARED THAT IN ALL SUBTESTS THE AGE-SCALED SCORES OF THE CONTROLS WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE OF THE SUBJECTS. STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES EMERGED IN SUBTESTS ON INFORMATION, COMPREHENSION AND ARITHMETIC OF THE VERBAL SCALE, AND IN THE PICTURE COMPLETION SUBTEST OF THE PERSORMANCE SCALE, AS WELL AS IN THE VERBAL, PERFORMANCE AND TOTAL I.Q. IN LIGHT OF THESE RESULTS, ONE FUNDAMENTAL FEATURE IN ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY COULD BE THE LACK OF GENERAL INTEREST AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, WHICH IS PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH A POOR ABILITY TO 'FEEL' (INADEQUACY OF FEELINGS OF PLEASURE) IN THOSE PREDISPOSED TO ANTICOCIAL PERSONALITY.
