Abstract: A group of 31 women who were experiencing severe dysmenorrhea were matched by age with a group of 31 women who had no dysmenorrhea symptoms. Women in both groups took the 16PF. Some major methodological and statistical flaws found in previous research of this type were corrected. The results convincingly showed that 16PF personality profiles for the two groups were extremely similar. Finally, there were no indications of any personality abnormalities.
