Abstract
P. W. Botha emerged from the assessment as primarily an aggressive (dominant) personality with distinct suspicious (though not quite paranoid) features and secondary egotistic (narcissistic), negativistic (passive-aggressive), and conventional (conscientious) features in conjunction with a strong self-orientation and a lack of sensitivity to others.
