Temperament and Character Profiles of Sasang Typology in an Adult Clinical Sample

Figure 2

TCI dimension score profile of Sasang types. The TCI score profile of the So-Yang, Tae-Eum and So-Eum types were significantly different (flatness with Greenhouse-Geisser test, df = 2.519, F = 33.4, P < .001; parallelism with Greenhouse-Geisser correction, df = 5.038, F = 3.546, P = .004). The So-Yang types (31.90 ± 9.87) scored higher on the NS scale than the So-Eum types (25.24 ± 9.21), F(2,94) = 3.43, P = .04. The So-Eum types (44.64 ± 8.47) scored higher on the HA scale than the So-Yang types (35.16 ± 11.50), F(2,94) = 5.43, P = .01. Whisker represents standard errors. NS: novelty-seeking; HA: harm-avoidance; RD: reward-dependence; P: persistence; SD: self-directedness; C: cooperation; ST: self-transcendence.
