The personality characteristics of 40 couples admitted into an artific
ial insemination scheme have been analysed. The personality study was
carried out using Cattell's questionnaire 16 PF (form C) and EPI quest
ionnaire (Eysenck Personality Inventory). The results show significant
statistical differences between males and females with a greater conf
ormity with the group, in women; women are also bolder and more discip
lined from an emotional point of view, whereas men are more radical.
