| Abstract: | What are those Marine officers who appear for sick call seeking medical care like? Personality test scores, sociometric ranking of pilot efficiency, officer-like qualities, and social acceptability in their squadron were related to an index of frequency of sick call visits. Some traits were related to frequency of sick bay visits. Those having the lowest sociometric ratings appeared most often. Educational level and intelligence were unrelated. "Primary personality, and temperamental traits may be the underlying factors related to the tendency to seek frequent medical consultation and to lower sociometric ratings."
