Psychological tests were administered to allergic patients differing with respect to diagnosis and severity of reactivity to skin testing with allergens.

The results indicate that severity of skin reaction is a significant dimension along which patients differed with respect to personality pattern. Type of allergic disease in small numbers of cases was not found to be a significant dimension in terms of personality configuration.
