ABSTRACT
The composite scores obtained by different groups of children on the Development Scales and on the Character Rating Chart give little indication of the value of the scales and chart in revealing individual differences or idiosyncrasies in social and emotional behaviour. This chapter presents six subjects: A, B, C, D, E and F. The description of Subject A shows the transition of a seclusive and somewhat inhibited emotional type into a normally sociable and expressive one. Subject B was changing from an unsocial and an unemotional type to a more normally social and emotional child. The description of Subject C gives a clinical picture of a sociable, uninhibited type, preponderantly cheerful. Subject D, on the other hand, is an example of an unsociable and repressed type. Subject E showed alternating distress and excessive delight and was therefore cyclothymic in type. Lastly, Subject F is an example of an active, impulsive type, sociable, cheerful, and highly excitable.
