Therefore, study was conducted to know that, which personality dimension of psychopaths differ from normal. Methods: Study examined personality dimension of 80 subjects selected purposively. Of them 40 were normal subjects (20 male & 20 female) and 40 psychopaths (20 male & 20 female). GHQ-12 negative subjects from the community formed the normal group. Dimension Personality Inventory (DPI-B) was administered on all the included subjects. Results: Mean scores on DPI-B reveal that normal and psychopath group were significantly (p<0.05) differ on all the six personality dimensions i.e. „activity-passivity‟, „enthusiastic-non enthusiastic‟, „assertive-submissive‟, „suspicious-trusting‟, „depressive-non depressive‟ and „emotional instability-emotional stability‟. Mean scores were found to be significantly higher of psychopaths compared with normal group. Conclusion: Personality of psychopath can be differentiated on „depressive-nondepressive‟ and „suspicious-trusting‟ dimensions on DPI-B. Psychopaths were found to be „depressive‟ and „suspicious‟ in present study. Keywords: GHQ-12, DPI, Personality, Psychopaths
