The TCI is a self-rating personality inventory that has been validated in the Swedish general population. The results were compared with age- and sex-matched norm groups. Participants with Asperger syndrome scored significantly higher on harm avoidance and lower on self-directedness and cooperativeness. Reward dependence and novelty seeking tended to be low. They also had significantly higher rarity scores, reflecting idiosyncratic perspectives. The most common temperament configurations were \u2018obsessional\u2019, \u2018passive-dependent\u2019 and \u2018explosive\u2019. Character, reflecting conceptual maturity, was poorly developed in the majority of our subjects. The self-ratings of persons with Asperger syndrome thus indicated anxious personalities with coping difficulties in the areas of social interaction and self-directedness, a picture corresponding to the clinical descriptions of Asperger syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1362361302006003006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,2]],"date-time":"2003-11-02T13:31:07Z","timestamp":1067779867000},"page":"287-297","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["Temperament and Character in Adults with Asperger Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Henrik","family":"Soderstrom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00f6teborg University, Sweden,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Rastam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00f6teborg University, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Gillberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00f6teborg University, Sweden; University of London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0010-440X(98)90070-0"},{"key":"atypb3","first-page":"167","volume":"3","author":"CLONINGER, C.R.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Psychiatric Developments"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1987.01800180093014"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.1988.tb00232.x"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pr0.1991.69.3.1047"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1993.01820240059008"},{"key":"atypb8","volume-title":"The Temperament and Character Inventory: A Guide to its Development and Use","author":"CLONINGER, C.R.","year":"1994"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511526770.004"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.1989.tb00275.x"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.66.4.762"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-0327(94)90149-X"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1362361399003004003"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.70.1.127"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1993.01820240075009"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.1995.tb01330.x"},{"key":"atypb17","volume-title":"The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders: Diagnostic Criteria for Research","author":"WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION","year":"1993"}],"container-title":["Autism"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1362361302006003006","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1362361302006003006","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:49:40Z","timestamp":1777380580000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1362361302006003006"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002,9]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2002,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1362361302006003006"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1362361302006003006","relation":{},"ISSN":["1362-3613","1461-7005"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1362-3613","type":"print"},{"value":"1461-7005","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2002,9]]}}}
